Symptoms

<P>Symptoms is Bill Garten's 4th book of poetry and through his vivid images and confessional style his latest book explores not only why we are here but how we have come to various points in our lives and finally how we have to accept them. Bill Garten is asking questions not only about his life but the lives of others around him. The confessional style of this book demonstrates how the author is not afraid to hide and literally is standing naked in front of his audience. Bill is more or less saying this is who I am - without any false walls or pretenses.</P>
