    About this ebook

    In his latest collection of poetry, Cliff Burns addresses the moral and spiritual dilemmas pervading modern life and the anxiety that manifests itself as we recognize the scope of the challenges confronting us. Haunting, personal and impassioned, THE ALGEBRA OF INEQUALITY intimately examines the dark places inside us, while refusing to entirely discount the healing graces of unconditional love.
