About the Book

In his first collection of poetry, 2019: A Year in Verse, we saw writer Douglas Palermo deal with grief, depression, and spiritual rebirth as he was hurled unexpectedly into the chaos that would be the year 2020. Now in this new collection of poetic word portraits, 2021: A Year Inverse, we get to join him as he confidently marches back. He is still processing the grief, still carrying the depression, but he has matured in his faith through the mastery of his craft. Readers should expect to buckle up for another 365-day trip around the sun, because this time we’re stuck in reverse. The parentheses will be closed as the masterpiece is finished. There will be no encore. There will be no curtain call. The cellar door has been closed. The author has seen his shadow and is ready for his soul to spring forth to higher dimensions and realities. So join him for this one last peek through his I of the Universe. Enjoy!
