Poeantasy

About the Book

The book consists of three parts. Part I comprises the three books of poetry in the Eclectics Series. Poems of over 35 years of a family. A man seeking answers, a devoted husband to his wife, and a grateful father to his child. Covering life in America, Mother Nature, the universe and even pet rocks.

Part II is the three fantasy books in the Conversations series. Conversations between four friends. Daniel the retired civil servant, Bartholomew the stately old elm, Patricia the young voluptuous pine, and little the sarcastic almond loving squirrel. Daniel attempts to explain to them today's life in American society. It's a sort of Aesop's fables with a twist.

Part III is just some short stories of Daniel and his friends.

Poetry and Fantasy combined, hence Poeantasy. The two characteristics, which define the true essence of what, it means to be human.
