Description: Insight is a collection of recently composed poems arranged in alphabetical order according to title. These poems focus on art and music, truth and falsehood, love and betrayal, which are forces that constantly engage the human spirit. The poems explore the homonyms insight, incite, and in sight. Insight is a heavy burden of discerning the true nature and complexity of situations and their effects. Language and truth must be one with each other or we truly have no way to live together in freedom. Our current prevailing culture pushes upon us lies and deceit. It attacks the very basis of a person's worth by trying to make people believe they have no will, no discipline, and no hope unless it comes from politicians. Writers have a duty to use their talent to expose deceit and to present truth based on fact through their insight. The writing of poetry has been a revolutionary act of truth telling for thousands of years.
