Summary
I can say little about the range of poems shown in Broken Dreams. Is the glass half-full or half-empty? Some of them are better than others and vice versa. Unlike a novel, poetry can only be described by citing examples. The range of levels may be seen by looking at "The Body Speaks," and "Old Guys Seldom Wear Purple". The collection includes 93 poems, from four lines to two pages each. It does not contain this one-line poem, entitled The Prostate's Lament: "The longest journey starts with a single stop." The verses and poems can be read in any order. Some are academic, some are nonsense and some are folk poetry.
