Sinopsis

Many of these recent poems reflect concerns of aging. In my case this has led me to consider 'what happens next'. Such uncertainties of identity and reality afflicted Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), as evidenced by the many plays he wrote exploring those themes. I trace these concerns of Pirandello back to his early poetry. The second part of this volume translates and adapts a number of these poems.

Too Late to Be a Hero

Michael Kilby

These poems were almost all written for emotional reasons and are all to some extent 'confessional'. Most poems are. But truth is only a starting point, the finished poem describing an experience, not an event.Some of these poems were written in other eras, when life seemed simpler. I have tried to resist the urge to change them, not always successfully. But, as Peter Dale has ...
