Despre această carte electronică

TINNITUS is a collection of poems written in various styles on diverse topics. Some of them address events in the poet's life, some speak of deep bonds, some celebrate love including for his wife, his family and his dog, some are humorous, and some border on the spiritual. Visual sketches interspersed throughout the book and on the cover are of the author's own creation. The multifaceted personality of the author and his joi de vivre emerge transparently in this unusual, unpretentious and enjoyable offering.
