This volume contains selected poems by Jacques Anthony Pluss. The first works date from late 1968, when Pluss was a student at an upscale boarding school and it continues to latest works in 2016. This volume contains poems covering every subject from young love, experiences of loss, conflict in warfare, searching the inner depths of one's soul, rebirth, aging and death. The poems throughout hinge upon the notion that life presents more contradiction than any other emotion or idea.
