    About this ebook

    This is the first digital publication of of some of Mr. Jacoby's finest poetic work. Mr. Jacoby is (mostly) of the Modernist School, and uses poetry to examine the little and often overlooked things in life . . . and in people. His work, then, gives us a sometimes unique view into our world, and especially into ourselves.
