A Poet's Last Stand is the first poetry collection released by Ed Roberts. This is the 2'nd edition of that book. After a life-threatening illness in the year 2000 Roberts decided to publicly share his work. His writing is influenced both by his long Oklahoman and Native American heritage as well as by national and international topics including cultural, political, and social issues. Different organizations refer people to his poetry web site to fight alcoholism, drug abuse, and terrorism. At the end of each book there is a special poem followed by several pages of comments people have left in the feedback section of his poetry site. His poems have changed and yes even saved several lives and save been shared and taught in several countries around the world. Quote from Ed Roberts "Poetry is not only the language of the heart, it is often merely whispers from one's soul. Mine is not a talent in writing, it is that I am given no choice but to listen."
