Personify This

By Donald Enz

This poetry book contains 72 poems where objects are either personified, or used as place names. Each poem may be read with or without the personification, butt the later is the most challenging and rewarding. At times, keeping the author's intended thoughts straight may seem confusing, but the reader will eventually find both interpretations of the poems worth the reading.
Many of the poems do deal with social, political, and philosophical issues. Again, there are multiple interpretations. Other poems are written for fun and rhyme.
Overall, this book is a good read for a person looking for a different perspective on life and the world. It was a joy to write, but also difficult because both the regular and the personified reading had to make sense.

Donald Enz

I was born in 1946 and raised in central Illinois. During my youth, I was lucky to be able to visit my parent's families each summer in two very small towns and had, in my opinion, free range over what I did. It was a great and unique experience that allowed my imagination to grow wild. I started to write and paint at a very early age and have been lucky to be able to continue my creativity my entire life. To do so has caused many difficulties at times, but I wouldn't trade a second of it. Being creative and being able to express myself in paintings, sculptures, and writing has made me a better person. I recommend creative freedom to everyone. I have a BS degree in English, an MA in sculpture, and an MFA in ceramics.
