About the Book
“One Hundred Yards of Sand” is an amazing collection of poetry. This eclectic mix shows humor and satire contrasted by pain and suffering. Deep passion and self-doubts mix with strong convictions to show the full range of human emotions. E.E. Orewiler dares to explore the lust, love, passion, and fear, that we all face at some time in our lives. Like a circus barker of old, he invites you to, “Step up, old friend, and come inside. I guarantee you quite a ride! You’ll laugh! You’ll cry! You’ll be amazed! What you see will leave you dazed!”
About the Author
E.E. Orewiler’s first poetry was published at age fifteen. During the 1960’s and ‘70’s he found himself torn between his parent’s values, his Navy career, and the passions that tormented his soul and complicated his life.
These early poems lay dormant until later in life when, suddenly, he found himself driven to write down his thoughts in verse. Physical, and emotional, pain plus deep, and sometimes dark, journeys into his inner self drive some of his work.
A very complex man, this author/poet shows his humorous side as well as his penchant for dry, witty, social and political satire. He always explores love, lust, and romance in a way few men dare, and few women will forget.
