The Kiss

and other poems

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The epic poem 'The Kiss', recounts, humorously, the myth of the creation of that destiny of every smitten heart, the Kiss: a Homeric soap-opera of the ancient Greek and Roman gods and goddesses conniving to leave their mark on its personality while vying for control of that ephemeral bundle of sweetness, irresistibility and earth-trembling passion in hopes of winning the battle over its inevitable release to the world of men. It is a tale which leaves no doubt that every day is a day incomplete until a Kiss, or two, finds you.

Autorenporträt

Born in Philadelphia to a family of farmers and tinkerers, Roy Hildestad pursued a career in engineering and math, spending his free time skiing, sailing, diving, canoeing, and generally taking up any sport having to do with water in any of its forms. Secretly, nurturing a life-long fascination with literature, poetry and ancient history, he memorized tens of thousands lines of the great poetry of all ages and, on occasion, wrote short poems as gifts or records of ideas. After raising three wonderful sons and retiring, that fascination, now without the supervision of the alarm clock and deadline, usurped the rule of Good Sense and began to get completely out of hand. The Kiss was the result.
