Quotidian Poems

By Arnold David Richards

In reading this book of every day ordinary extraordinary experience, we gain insight into what truly matters, what a poet / scientist / psychoanalyst / son / father / husband/ human being tells us about life, life and death, memories, discoveries . . . Arnie offers us so much in "Poetry is a Commentary on Life", beginning with "on the sublime and the banal / the ordinary and the extraordinary", and concluding with "poetry makes life worth living/ living makes poetry worth writing". In "Life", Arnie offers a delightful possibility, a possibility offered by creativity: "Fly on the wings of your imagination/ soaring birds".

In this book of poetry, we can enjoy flying on the wings of imagination, through language, science, memories, contemplating life and death, symbolism, the playful freedom of meaning, ideas, and discovery, the extraordinary ordinary quotidian every day.
