    About this ebook

    'The Collection’ is a book of rhymed and metered poems. It is a collection regarding Blues, Chivalry, Dark Poetry, Fantasy. Death, Nature, Remorse, Romance, Sonnets, Ballads of Stories—True and Fictional, and Various Poetry Forms. ‘The Collection’ is designed to take the reader away from the upscale world in which we live. Within these pages one can escape from the glaring lights and noisy atmosphere of reality, to delve for a few moments, an hour or perhaps an entire day, into the emotional heartbreak of love, the sad yet beautiful onslaught of death, or be transported into the fantastic realm of the Faeries. Experience the wild drenching fury of a desert monsoon, ride with an Arizona Ranger as he faces the guns of a desperado who has already carved six notches on his gun grip. Look with the eyes of a lonely man who glances into the stare of a sultry temptress. Follow the footsteps of a person bent on suicide and meets face to face, the courage to carry out his desire. Be a part of the crew of a sailing ship in the 1800s, which has drifted into a cove, now gripped in the throws of grave danger at breaking up on the rocks. This is the book to take with you when you want to get away from it all. To spend some time alone, forgetting the familiar path of your life as you look into your heart renewing your soul and refreshing your outlook on life.315 Poems all written in Rhyme & Meter: 8 Poems of Blues, 5 Poems of Chivalry, 8 of Dark Poetry, 29 of Fantasy, 26 of Death, 23 of Nature, 15 of Remorse, 51 of Romance, 91 that tell a story, 20 of truthful happenings, 15 Sonnets, 24 Poems of Various Standard forms, and 1 Trilogy in three books: Book 1 (50 verses) Book 2 (65 verses) Book 3 (129 verses)

    Archie Hoagland

    Archie J. Hoagland was born in Nebraska City, Nebraska at the height of the Great Depression of 1932. He grew up in the farmlands of Nebraska, Oklahoma, Colorado, Utah and Oregon. He’s a member of the Society of Southwestern Authors and is the facilitator of a critique group, The Green Valley (Arizona) Writers’ Forum. Archie also is a retired businessman, a fortythree year member of the BPOE and a sculptor who works in terra cotta. Although proud of his time as a combat veteran in the Navy, Archie has worn several other hats. As an author, he’s had two poetry collections published — The Collection, a volume of over 500 pages, and a much shorter collection, Sartor’s Poetry. His first novel, a crime/fiction novel with a sub-plot of mystery , The Mystery of Sorrows, is soon to be released in early 2014.
