A. M. Siriano's CURRENT brings together the best poems from his popular on-line collections: Ghosts of Greenlawn, September Poems, and Marginalia. Carefully chosen and edited by the author, these works will satisfy the poetry lover's wide-ranging fascination with all aspects of life-the emotional, the practical, the spiritual, unusually rendered here with clarity, depth, and humor in a variety of styles. The selections in "this diminutive batch" are designed to be enjoyed in two ways: randomly and sequentially. The latter approach intends to deliver an experience of a life's journey, representing its wildly fluctuating phases: the wonder of youth and early love, the glory of art and creation, the buffeting of disenchantment and despair, the abyss of death and war, the joy of salvation and acceptance, the embracing of true love and commitment-and finally, the brave, defiant excursion against "the fearful clip of death."
