And The Seraphim Wept

Philip is a retired pediatrician who lives and practices idleness in the City of Angels. He has published one previous book of poetry The Mirror which was received with no small acclaim. (No great acclaim either.) A reading at a meeting of psychologists was followed by five minutes of utter silence. He prefers lyric formal verse describing emotions and human foibles; with occasional fits of humor. Disclaimer: Some poems may be depressing. Philip assumes no responsibility for untoward consequences suffered by the reader. The book is considered safe for children who do not have access to an unabridged dictionary.
