Chronicle Eight

This is the eighth installment of the D. B. Clark Chronicles, the thoughts expressed in poetry of a brief period in the life of the poet. The emphasis in this volume continues to be light verse, which is the poet’s joy, but also celebrates his realization that he is addicted to metaphysical poetry, but particularly his own brand of humorous metaphysical poetry. So, join him in laughing about what could be overly serious. What is newest in this chronicle is the author’s concern with death, brought on the death of his movie-making brother. Associated with this, is an exploration of religion and psychology as means of managing grief. Obviously, humor is less apparent in these poems.
