Thoughts at Play in The Age of Fear

James Hazard

 This is poetry boldly rooted in the romantic tradition, a composition of thoughts in verse about existence in a world indifferent to suffering and personal philosophies of meaning. From reflections of savagery in the natural world to the complexities and insecurities of love, the reader is taken on a dramatic journey to possums on a picnic, vultures shopping in a market, the aftermath of nuclear war as told by surviving ants, a boy’s hike around the world in a single day, a woman who talks to ghosts and the romance of revolution in the second decade of the twentieth century.

The concluding poem takes the reader to the very edge of what we can comprehend about the nature of life, death, birth and eternity
