Memoirs of a Poem-Hunting Man

By Elias Sassoon

Rather than write a formal memoir, I have created a series of poems that encapsulate my life in thought and body. The collection is a personal discourse with people known during my life, as well as my reflections on self and the world outside my body. I devised predetermined chapters. When a poem came to me, I placed it, banged it out, and randomly moved on to the next. This way, I was able to complete hundreds of poems relatively quickly. Here are the finalized chapters: Familiar In The Family; Relations Had Without Relations; Worldly Issues. Soulful Conceptions; Autobiographical Bits Of Flesh; Older Aging Insights; Natural World Incinerations; Jazz In The Words; Moments In Time; Places In The Mind. While I attempted to be as inclusive as possible, I fell short. The effort to incorporate every moment of proved too difficult. Still I am proud of the attempt and I do think I managed to capture the essence of my entire existence. Enjoy the poems.
