Poet Against Israel

About the Book

Poet Against Israel contains almost four years of weekly poetry postings at TimothyJCallahan.Blogspot.com. The poetry employs rhythm and rhyme and other devices seen in poetry of an earlier time. The poems are short, understandable, (sometimes with the aid of a dictionary), and fun to read. They cover diverse subjects such as Israel, the Palestinians, nature (especially trees), death, existence, science, politics, civil rights, religion, women, muses, goddesses, and patriotism. Many of the poems are funny and many shocking. You will want to read this book more than once.
