Poesicosophy: a Collection of Poems Jeffrey B. Holl

Poesicosophy, A Collection of Poems by Jeffrey B. Holl signals an attempt at the uncovering of many metaphysical mysteries of human pathos and subsequent enlightenment. The ravages of mental illness obscure the lines between madness and universal beauty in many of the works. Society's effect on the individual is also a common theme throughout many of the poems as Jeffrey is concerned with autocracy, and despotic political regimes. These themes are brought together, especially toward the end of the collection, as we reminisce within times of war and times of fascism. Only truth, providence, and a state of higher consciousness can prevail over the struggle protrayed in so many of the poetic works featured in this book. A spiritual union with a goddess is the ultimate solution to the problems facing Jeffrey throughout these poems, and in the end we realize that universal beauty is Absolute and of truth.
