Life Through My Glasses

Life through My Glasses, a new collection of poems by Herbert Siegel, combines two additional art forms for added dimension and meaning, resulting in a unique approach, more functional than poetic icons of earlier eras.

Original paintings and illustrations allow book lovers to visualize the subject of a poem, and selectively inserted call-outsused ubiquitously by journalistsengage the reader in the poets choice of a formal structure or free verse.

This, his fourth collection, presents a contemporaneously written continuum of life ensconced in many forms of poetry, including universal observations of nature, ancient storytellers, gastronomy, and biographiesusually ending with a touch of sardonic humor.

Life through My Glasses is beautiful an intriguing form combining poems in an unusual shape, comparing life and nature nature and resurrection life immortal. I cannot add or take away from this masterpiece.
Yvonne Byrd, 2006 Senior Poet Laureate of Texas
