99¢ Free Verse Garbage
99¢ Free Verse Garbage is a compilation of poetry from all the eras of author Arthur Pensteam’s thirty-year life.
Expectations
In an attempt to stay true to form, the poems have been minimally edited to preserve the floundering, inexperienced nature of the author. Excluding the occasional, blatant rip-off, most of the poems are that type of experimental, free verse monstrosity common to American poetry.
Each poem was crafted in the throes of youthful passion and is meant to capture and process deep emotion through observations of nature. The curated selection forms a narrative of self growth, a coming of age through a fixation on physical and mental environment.
Summation
Above all, 99¢ Free Verse Garbage is an exploration of the crossroads of place and meaning. It is the author’s hope that it is able to evoke a wonder in the mundane, everyday perceptions common to all people.
