The poetry is rife with experience and skill
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Death awaits us all, and facing it is the first step to taking it gracefully. "Necropolis" is a collection of poems focusing on death by accomplished poet Jill Alexander Essbaum. "Necropolis" is her third collection, and the poetry is rife with experience and skill, giving it a hearty recommendation. "A Funerary catechism": Who is God? Somebody, Somewhere, somewhere./Where does he live? Not Here.//Where did you come from? Disbelief./Where are you going? Beneath.//What is the soul? A very grave thing./And what is the body? Nothing.//What is Original Sin? Debatable./The nature of man? He's feeble./Who is Christ? A guy on a cross./What did he do? He lost.//What is th Spirit? The ghost of a chance./How does She help you? She can't.//And what is the sum of dead and forever?/It's never.
