Life is full of ups and downs, and transitional opportunities or doorways that we either pass through or forever wonder what life “would have been if.” To further illustrate these mixed emotions, deep thinkers often turn to poetry as a way to cope with the uncertainty. If this statement resonates with you, then perhaps you would like to read some exceptional poetry on these subjects.
If so, let me recommend one of the best poetry books on “life’s transitional periods.” Once you start reading it, you won’t be able to put it down, and luckily, you won’t have to, as it is less than 100 pages. The book is titled:
“1970 Poems; Transition,” by Leonard Harlig, self-published and printed at Anderson Graphics in Van Nuys, CA in 1970, (93 pages).
In 1970, the renowned contemporary poet Leonard Harlig published his collection of transitional poetry, “1970 Poems; Transition.” Each book is numbered, and only 300 were printed, making it a collector’s item. You might see this book appear on eBay occasionally, and if you do, I recommend purchasing it and reading it, savoring every word.
The poems touch on transitions such as moving from military and war into society, from adolescence to adulthood, from single to married life, family relocation, changing jobs, and health transitions during the later stages of life. Each poem hits home, with so much truth and honesty in every word, accompanied by just a hint of cynicism to complement the reality at hand: the irony of what is, what is purported, and what transpires. In any case, you’ll undoubtedly love it, so please consider this suggestion.
