An Ancient Child Singing: A Celebration of Verse
is poetry for everyone. Inspired by the classics yet modern in content, these poems explore themes of love, loss, and the joys and mysteries of being. The collection doesn't ever hold itself back, unafraid to listen to what each poem wants and either stretch into freeform verses or stay true to a disciplined structure. Over six sections-Passion, Pain, Being, Beasts, Birds, and Family-award-winning author Dwight David Morgan contemplates and reflects, and most importantly, connects with the reader, drawing us all into our shared human story.
