Margins of Ambiguity is a book that, at its core, is meant to entertain the majority of society that takes a dim view of poetry as it was taught in school. While Ken’s two previous books dealt with more serious subjects, such as suffering and pain, this volume uses sarcasm and comedy to lighten the mood and draw readers in. Readers are sure to share Ken’s satisfaction with this long-overdue completion of his trilogy. Unlike much poetry of a bygone era, here the subject matter is easily accessible, no matter where in these pages you choose to start reading. Rather than focusing on a single moment in time, Ken drew on moments and sources from throughout his life to compile this book.Poetry can, for those willing, allow short bursts of energy to create a detailed array of images without burying the reader in a massive number of pages. A poet who takes the mundane experiences of everyday life and lends them an air of levity, often absent in a world overwhelmed by bad news, can grant the reader a cherished reward. Browsing to unlock a gem of verse might become a memorable moment, not soon forgotten, if you allow yourself a peek inside. When reading this work, perhaps you will agree that even with the heaviest of subject matter, some morsel of levity can be achieved that will allow even those with an adverse reaction to poetry to make something of a connection to it.
