Synopsis

Life’s Ride brings forth the poet’s life journey and takes his readers with him through life, aging and death, travel, love of nature, and involvement in the public realm. Readers discover rhythms and rhymes on a variety of diverse themes with poems that are sometimes informative and sometimes full of whimsy. His poems call readers to relate to his life experiences and the varying emotions the poems bring forth. Lovers of poetry will also delight in the variety of poetic forms: haiku to sonnet to limerick. John is a wordsmith who loves poetry, as demonstrated in his earlier volume of Poems About Poets.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

John Meyer has long delighted audiences of all ages as a vocalist and a poet. He has also shared his knowledge of poets with a wide range of groups. His teaching about the poets has resulted in poems he has composed about his favorite poets, in which he incorporated not only information (and sometimes whimsy) about the poet, but also the poets’ more famous lines. These poems were published in POEMS ABOUT POETS. During his career Meyer has authored numerous article and seven books and has presented at many large national conventions and small regional venues. When he’s not teaching poetry or leading sing-alongs, he is writing or presenting communication workshops with Interpersonal Communication Services, Inc. for organizations and businesses, most notably, veterinarians. Meyer holds a bachelors degree and a masters degree in communication from the University of Wisconsin, a PhD in communication from the University of Minnesota, and post-doctoral work at the State University of New York at Buffalo and in London, England. For nearly 30 years, he served as Professor of Communication at the State University of New York at Plattsburgh following years of teaching at Hamline University and as a high school English teacher and drama and debate coach in Wisconsin and Minnesota. His ride through life has been a positive one – full of travel, humor, politics, love of family and friends, and his current life on the ocean in La Jolla, CA. Readers will see these themes reflected in the collection of his poems in LIFE’S RIDE – an inspiration for readers to also pen their life experiences in verse.
