About this ebook

The book is a collection of compositions arranged in three groups: Poems I, with 25 poems; Stanzas with 28 poems, and Poems II with another 35 poems. The items are either love poems involving his feelings toward girls he knew as a youth, as well as introspective or philosophical stanzas dealing with his views on reality and the nature of Man. Hedi, the young woman he fell in love with in 1945, plays a primary role in his lyrical inspiration. Their parting led to somber thoughts he translated into a number of philosophical verse sequences. He calls his writing as belonging to the free verse variety, emphasizing cadence and meter, with less weight accorded to riming.

"The world should know and learn to accept the fact that life and fantasy (read "inner experience") co-exist in any person's existence. Subjectivity is the primary motor to anyone's being. My stories illustrate the point, I hope, and give the reader the chance to review his own personal life, placing its events in an acceptable and worthwhile perspective and allowing him to retain (or maybe regain) a proper distance from the fallacies of 'what's real." This is most certainly "existentialistic" and, from a philosophical viewpoint, an "idealistic" attitude. It offers a powerful alternative to the current evolution of society toward a strictly materialistic and utilitarian mode of living" - George Lysloff Lysloff was born in Paris, France of a Russian emigré father and a Baltic-German mother. He went through is primary and secondary education in various French schools. He studied medicine in Germany and Belguim, obtaining his diploma in 1951. He immigrated to the United States in 1954, and took his specialty training in the field of Psychiatry. He received his Board Certification in 1963. He was employed in various mental hospitals in the Midwest, and then moved back to Europe in 1972. He remained active in his profession until his retirement in 1993. George was married in 1950, and the couple had four children. After his wife fell ill with Alzheimer's disease and had to move to a care home, he lives close to his children in Wisconsin. His writing career began with poetry, initially written in the French, which he later translated to English.
