Most of them, however, are from the 1990s, during that nearly ten-year period when I served in the United States Navy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike with Tales of Terror and Tenderness, the poetry is reflective of the periods in my life when I was confused, scared, or just plain clueless as to what I was thinking and feeling. This seems to be the emotional state when most of my poetry flows -- at other times, in less volatile mental states, writing poetry is akin to pulling teeth with razor-wire. This volume diverts from the format of TALES... in several ways.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksWholesale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44214596599969,"sku":"9780359524457","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1kknw87p-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1713640974","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/songs-of-silence-and-serenity","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
