Out of My Mind: A Symphony of Essays, Writings, and Poems

By Mary Ellen Lisciandra

In her book Out of My Mind, author Mary Ellen Lisciandra delves into the whimsical realm of poetry. It is a compilation of poems that she wrote over the course of her life.

These poems deal with subjects ranging from sports to politics to world affairs. She started writing poems close to 50 years ago. Throughout the past five decades, she has witnessed many famous - and infamous - historical changes in American society. Among these events were the Vietnam War; the Energy Crisis of the Nixon era; and more recently, the BP oil disaster of 2010. She even includes a comical piece about her hometown baseball team - "The Amazing Mets" -- who miraculously won the World Series in 1969.

In addition to her collection of poems, Ms. Lisciandra reflects on her interest in history with a very thought-provoking essay on the battle of Gettysburg. She also displays her interest/love of animals with a short article about turtles.

There is something in her poems for everyone. Some are fantasies. Some are humorous. Some are satirical. Some are informative. But all the poems in this book definitely portray writings that come "out of the mind" of the author. Many of these poems mirror her personality, her beliefs, and her bizarre thinking. Her writing reflects her true inner feelings.

Out Of My Mind is an amazing read for everyone.

So sit back in a comfortable chair with your favorite beverage, and prepare to be entertained.
