A Futile Attempt At Delaying The Inevitable

‘Poetry is the shadow cast by our streetlight imaginations.’ – Lawrence Ferlinghetti.

Hey, you!   Can you explain what it means to be ‘human’?   Imagine someone confronts you with this question on the street. Most of us will ‘hmm’ and ‘haaa,’ but Adam Webb gets it. 

Born in America, Adam spent a lot of time experiencing what exotic cultures could give and tried to understand what it means to be living in the here and now.   He went on to chisel the marble of language to provide us with something real and tangible to think about.  

‘The book began in my hometown,’ Adam says, ‘and then developed through traveling.’ Adam spent time living in Europe, Southeast Asia, Thailand, and Japan. 

Adam touches the soul with inspirational titles such as ‘Life Scene,’ ‘In the Early Summer, across the Lake from the City,’ ‘Poems in four seasons,’ and ‘Stitched Fragments.’  The poems are deceptively simple and require more than one reading before their total weight can sink in. Adam’s mentors are, amongst others, James Wright, Pablo Neruda, Ernest Hemingway, and Carl Jung. 

This book might be ‘a futile attempt of delaying the inevitable’, but at the same time, it smacks you in the face with its raw look at life.   This is a bundle for poetry lovers and seekers of inspirational titles alike.
