Produktbeschreibung
In his unique new poetry collection, Interrogations, Ken Lauter delivers 112 poems, each of which contains a question- or several. He believes questions are the "engines of poetry" and that interrogating your mind, life history, and environment (both natural and personal) is an essential part of being human. Yet the book is not solemn or formal. Alternating between abstract and concrete, serious and whimsical, mystical and mundane, Lauter's inquiries are not part of any premeditated plan or philosophy.

In the words of a popular song, he simply asks: What's going on?
