Description
The poems in Dragon Days cover a wide variety of topics, from current events, the battle between faith and a world plunging into spiritual darkness, fathers and sons-from King Hezekiah of Israel to Russian President Vladimir Putin, appearances by the Greek hero Jason and the Minamoto samurai Kumagi Naozane, the issues of the day, a lament for the original King Kong's slain stegosaurus, fear of flying, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the world of nature, the seasons' influence on a cynical private detective, identity, an unwise selfie with a bear, and the challenges of navigating life in an America that seems to be steadily sinking into moral depravity.
