About the Book

The poems in this book express real life in verse. It could be tragedy, comedy or everyday life. Some are close to home, others will extend to politics and big-time events, all in the realm of poetic expression, as a reprieve from the rough and tumble language of the daily newspapers, and jarring commentaries.

About the Author

Ben Sheldon got a bachelor's degree from England and a Master's degree from Massachusetts. He has lived in Europe and the US, and traveled in four continents. For the past several years, Sheldon has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area. IDEA of the Book: Whenever an original story idea would cross his mind, he would write it down, for a possible future novel, etc. So many story plots accumulated in Sheldon's notebooks, that he "would have needed nine lives to use them all up". He added: "Not being in the cat family, I decided to let other writers have a go at it". The result is this useful book, as a writers' quarry to excavate for their find.
