Two collections of poems by Michael Sanders
Fun in Space, a collection of short prose poems, takes a metaphorical and sometimes irreverent look at some of the more bewildering concepts of modern science fact and fiction, such as time travel, curved space, uncertainty, and black holes, using ordinary language and materials gleaned from life's everyday experiences.
Love in a Violent World & Other Poems is a potpourri of poetic voices and styles from contemporary free verse to classic sonnets, from stark and explicit realism to brazen absurdism, as well as a new exploding sonnet that examines the value of human bonds through the suffering caused by their undoing in today's complex and violent world. These are tales of love, loss, and restoration. Using straightforward language, Sanders explores issues as diverse as the violent death of loved ones, family estrangement and dissolution, intolerance, aging, the healing power of love, and the joy of poetry itself. Readers will react with emotions drawn from their own experience-and in so doing, each will become complicit with the author in creating their own personal vision.
