Disillusions of Grandeur--and Other Eye-Openers Susan L Lipson

A thought-provoking, memorable poetry collection for any reader from YA to adult, DISILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR--AND OTHER EYE-OPENERS offers ironic and profound realizations about everyday life and interpersonal connections; amusing "aha!" moments that call attention to the magic within mundane experiences; and biting social commentary. The poems use a variety of classical and modern poetic styles to clearly communicate and connect with readers who might not usually buy a book of poetry. Written by a poet who is also a writing coach, these poems aim to evoke discussion by aspiring poets, book groups, and literature/writing classes. The poet even includes some links to Soundcloud.com, where she has uploaded recordings of some of the poems that are actually song lyrics. If you have been disillusioned by esoteric or unrelatable poetry that confuses you more than communicates with you, then DISILLUSIONS OF GRANDEUR may be YOUR poetry book--to inspire reading and re-reading, and possibly, your own writing, too.
