Dare-Devilish and Divine

By Arthur Weil

His previous books include: Life, Love and Gems that Shine, Exploding Mind (or Not Over the Hill Yet), Poetry is for Sissies, Reflections of the Moment, Slice of Life, Fluid Words, Theater of Thoughts, Love Always, Words to Fly With and Have Fun While You Can.
His poems explore happiness, philosophy, love and aging. This book is a tribute to the spirit of living, being and aging gracefully. “Often, I remind myself, “How lucky I am to be alive!” At the young age of ten I escaped the claws of the Nazis. I dedicate this book to the 9 million who perished in the Nazi concentration camps between 1934 and 1945. I came to America in 1938 and was fortunate to fight alongside the US Army of Engineers in Europe during World War II.” - Arthur Weil

“Arthur Weil’s poetry illuminates all the possibilities of life, beautifully, in words that take one by surprise. His insights and revelations give one a profound realization that life is an incredibly rich experience to be savored each day, and that only the examined life is worth living.” Jerome Kirk
