Verse and Adverse - Tapa blanda

"Verse and Adverse" is a collection of poems. They range in character from love poetry to insult and are written in traditional forms as well as experimental. They confront personal and social issues, are addressed to friends and enemies, and are often as emotionally puzzling as they are pointedly clear.
