| This collection of poems presents a unique perspective on enduring themes--love, existentialism, the darker side of life in an urban environment, loneliness, quiet heroism and the transcendent power of poetry to rebuild weary souls and teach lessons we may not want to learn.
Although several of the poems in this collection have appeared in anthologies and literary magazines, most are published here for the first time and represent a selection of the author's free verse, blank verse, and sonnets from early adulthood through middle age (1977-20011).
The author is an Associate Professor of Legal Studies in Business at Hofstra University's Frank G. Zarb School of Business and has previously published seven non-fiction books through traditional publishers. His business law and legal environment textbooks have been used in colleges and universities throughout the United States since 1993. This is his first poetry collection.
The book is available for the Kindle ($1.99) and in paperback ($6.50) through Amazon and CreateSpace. The Kindle version of the book can also be borrowed free of charge by Amazon Prime members.
The book is available for the Kindle and in paperback through Amazon and CreateSpace. Book links: https://www.createspace.com/3647983 and http://www.amazon.com/Pain-Ecstasy-Collected-Poems-ebook/dp/B0059XEREI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1328894542&sr=8-4

| I've noticed quite a few posts from you. You've also added a little about yourself at the end of this one.
Why not stop by a post an introduction?

| Hello JoElle and Abe,
I thought I had posted an introduction in the "Welcome" area on my first day but see that I have not. I'll do that shortly. Thank you both for the suggestion. I wrote but apparently did not post one and it may lie hidden on an open window on one of my computers. (I've been doing research and taking too-frequent breaks here in my eagerness to avoid work on my current project since discovering this board.) Sorry for the oversight. .
Thank you both for your welcome.
Victor
