    About this ebook

    In Ah Poems, Robert J. Mack has included 27 of his poems written over the course of many years of writing verse. Looking at the elements of joy, celebration, virtue and sadness defining our lives, he shares his emotions and thoughts always with a sense of the wonder at it all. Whether it is a witty ode to his cat, or a somber reflection about Dorothy Parker, or an admiring tribute to the workers at Ground Zero after 9/11, he provides a clarity of expression and feeling that transports the reader into a world of keen observations about life. Ah Poems demonstrates the range of thought and depth of passion-affirming sensibilities of the author and explores the uncertainties and the inspirations of our complex existence.
