Fifty Confessions

Fifty Confessions reveals author Paul Kiritsis's personal confessions and deepest thoughts in the form of modern, free verse poetry. For more than a decade, Kiritsis has been studying, writing about, and trying to capture the subtler, less tangible aspects of the human experience. In this collection of more than fifty poems, he displays his passion for mythology and history. This offering, Kiritsis's third book, is arranged in six sections, which include The Ancient Enemy, Behold My Wrath, Actions and Reactions, In the Aftermath, Myths and Ruminations, and The Savage Past. The poems showcase the author's mastery of the English language. In "Shooting Star," he writes: When a little spark from the night sky / Plummets from the canopy of stars above, / Somewhere, someplace, / A being of light has been born. / So make certain you light a candle, / And make a heartfelt wish / That it never be touched by the darkness / Of what it's like to feel completely alone / In a world void / Of both heartfelt light and heaven.
