ACCIDENTAL ? PHYSICIAN POET

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Robert Duchouquette's love of poetry grew from his son's simple request for help writing a haiku for high school English. He found the Muse contagious and over the next twenty years, he continued to practice medicine and compose poetry. This anthology features one hundred poems, representing years of exploring this lyrical art form. He writes in numerous poetic genres; from sonnets to metrical rhymed humor and from strictly structured forms to free verse and narrative poetry, his favorite styles for the past ten years. There are surprising sprinkles of parody and heaping doses of humor within his range of imagery. Inside, you'll find poems grouped according to subject matter and style. The first chapter is dedicated to medical poems, which are based on experiences from medical school and private practice. Other poems are grouped into humorous styles and the author's original expertise, oriental forms. There are chapters with poems scrutinizing historical events and showcasing styles cultivated over the past two decades. As they have for physician/poet "Dr. D", this collection is certain to become an enjoyable diversion from the ordinary; and, as one of his poems states, it is simply for: "exalting in the elegance of a well-turned phrase."
