WHO WE ARE Poetry Collection Explores Human Condition
By: Christina Mancuso Jul. 24, 2013
In his latest poetry collection, "Who We Are: Our Lives and the Human Condition" (published by iUniverse), which is getting an updated marketing push in the summer of 2013, Herbert Spohn delivers a colorful exploration of love, commitment and growing old.
"As human beings we face a number of conditions in common in our lives," notes Spohn. "My poetry is crafted to reflect observations of the inner life of many others, and myself, as we confront these conditions."
This inner exploration of life is fully investigated as Spohn expands on both the romance and reality of life. Rooted in his life experiences, this collection of free verse also illuminates the experiences of living out a childhood in post-World War I Germany.
Spohn, an émigré from Nazi Germany and decorated World War II veteran, draws from his personal and professional backgrounds in "Who We Are." With a style that is at times warm and lyrical, analytical and searing, and sensual and thought-provoking, Spohn encourages others to look inward and rediscover emotions about such relatable subjects as falling in love, the betrayal of an aging body and the pain of loss.
