About this ebook
"Award winning novelist, Roland Verfaillie, displays his range of literary talent in his Collected Poems. Mr. Verfaillie, once more examines the complex questions concerning man's relationship with post-modern society. Missing is the humor typically associated with the novelist's work.However, his poetry provides a rare and refreshing glimpse into the author's serious side. The themes of his poetic works resonate with every man and woman's search for meaning, and the choices and sacrifices each must make to achieve it. Kudos for a masterpiece of new American poetry."
