Produktbeschreibung
The poetry of Robert Marashlian is frequently a criticism of contemporary society's beliefs as well as the way we now live. His work reflects his feelings toward the outstanding events of our times, not to mention his profound appreciation of life.The Odyssey of Life, Mr. Marashlian's welcome first published collection, brings together the best of his work spanning three decades. Subtitled "Poems of Truth," this forthright volume presents social and political concern underscores the poet's love of the natural world, pays tribute to the great importance of an irreplaceable friendship, and honors the ideas of "filling the present with joyous times" and "being blessed with musician friends who are talented and kind."Poems such as "The Good Old Days," "A Message to My Muslim Friends," "Jihad," and "Iran" are eloquent in their representation of the volatile times in which we live. Even the attentive observer, the poet also ponders his "Conscience" with introspection while acknowledging the fragility of life in "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow."The Odyssey of Life combines artistic flair with a straightforward outpouring of honest emotion. With their varying joy, beauty, and conflict, these poems happily compel readers to see the world through Mr. Marashlian's discerning eyes.

Autorenporträt
ROBERT MARASHLIAN graduated from Colorado State University and enjoyed a long career as a teacher. As an educator, musician, and a member of the Armed Forces, he faced many challenges in his life, with perhaps his greatest challenge being his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis in the prime of his life. Not to be deterred, Mr. Marashlian refused to be defined or limited by his affliction, and began writing poetry to express his feelings. Through his writing, the poet gives readers the opportunity to meet a huge challenge as well: "to understand life for what it truly is and how to live it to its fullest." In addition to writing, the poet loves music, worked for a time as a musician, and composes creatively whenever he can. Now retired, Mr. Marashlian resides in New Jersey.
