Publisher's Summary

How do we cope with life?

More and more, in these times of increasing uncertainty, we search deep within ourselves for the inner resources, psychological props, and spiritual defenses that will somehow get us through just another day.

We know that somewhere deep in our hearts, countless others have been where we are today. After all, we are just human and thus subject to the four sufferings of birth, getting old, becoming ill, and finally dying.

Poets have the gift of making beautiful and powerful word images to mark those constant trials, tribulations, and rites of passage that we must face as just the price for being here on this planet.

In this anthology of 100 poems by some of the most creative minds who have ever lived, you will find yourself in the company of brave, uncertain, hopeful, sometimes frightened, and often questioning, but always honest men and women.

All poems in this anthology are in the public domain.
