Sobre IBD

'Elder Verse' is a collection of 100 poems. The book’s name confirms that it is a book of free verse, written by an elder. The introductory poem cites the similarity of the book’s name with the flower and song, 'Edelweisse' which is depicted on the front cover. The poems cover topics of poetry, dreams, exercise and games, family and pets, happiness and guilt, history, medicine and health, modern life, nature and travel.
