New Century Poems Alan Lewis Silva

This collection of poetry involves themes of contemporary life experienced by a millennial. It conducts the reader in humor, wit, and moments of growing up through the teenage years through the early thirties, in the vein of an artist's imaginative, inquiring search for truth. It is edgy and satirical, and in other ways spiritual, sincere, and emotive. These verses appertain to a bohemian mood throughout, containing filtered observations of sin and virtue. Each poem finds terms to record the soul's journey in a diverse array of situations. Challenging to classify stylistically, this is a rare California vision on the effects of the Information Age. Composed in three sections, this work poses questions one can contemplate and relate to: What is the value of modern life? What has altered our achievements, behavior, and values? Although humanity continues to grow, what will be our lasting impressions? Discover the complex and primitive motivations of the natural and artificial ecosystems of the 21st century.
