Synopsis

Within a unique collection of poetic insight, Timothy J. Donovan Jr. transforms quotes, proverbs, and sayings into rhyming poetry presented as lyrical verse known as quoems-a solidification of thought that creatively intertwines literature and vocabulary with poems and philosophy.

Donavan, whose love of the written word is clearly evident throughout this volume, shares proverbs from around the world as well as quotes and ideas from famous influencers such as Mark Twain, Robert F. Kennedy, Voltaire, Benjamin Franklin, and George W. Bush and from anonymous and lesser known influencers like science fiction author, Carl Frederick, and Roman soldier and historian, Cato the Elder. When combined into a quoem, these ideas and thoughts created over centuries may be considered complimentary, contradictory, amusing, complete nonsense, or even may take on a new meaning, contrary to the original thought.

The Book of Quoems is an innovative compilation that transforms quotes, proverbs, and sayings into poetic verse that will delight lovers of the written word.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Timothy J. Donovan Jr. was born in New York City in the early 1950's and moved to the suburbs of Long Island as a teenager. His talent as a writer was first revealed as a singer-songwriter in several acoustic rock bands in the 60's and 70's. The love of poetry came next while attending college where he learned to appreciate the words of the great poets of the past, along with Paul Simon, the Beatles and Bob Dylan. Now, after more than 45 years of traveling the world in the Aerospace Industry as an Instructor/Consultant, he continues to write his unique perspective on every day issues. His first book is filled with poetic snapshots of the past 5 decades from an always questioning teenage viewpoint, all the way to a grandfather's words of wisdom. The book is aptly named, One's Perspective. In his second book he turns quotes, proverbs and sayings into unique passages of poetic insight, with just a title and 2 lines. His love of the written word is clearly evident in The Book of Quoems.
