The Quadripartite Poet

These poems attempt to delineate the four divisions of my existence: physical spiritual intellectual and emotional. Writing them has given me a greater understanding of myself hence a greater understanding of you. I hope that you find some insights into your own life. The poems can best be appreciated by reading them aloud with emotion. As I wrote them I kept in mind that I was really writing them on the fabric of my readers minds. For two decades I wrote and rewrote them trying to make them worthy of the high honor you afford me by reading and understanding them. Nothing would please me more than knowing that a discussion group would choose this book. Thank you. Jack
