""I remember, I remember, how the garden used to be./We had everything we wanted, except for that one tree."" Those lines are from ""Adam's Blues"", title piece and first entry in this collection. The book continues with poems on Adam and Eve in Eden and in the 21st century; a summer blockbuster superhero psalm (""Sheol my arch-nemesis/sent his minions after me/They trapped me in a death net/and hit me with a hydro-blast""); poems which travel from the Apostles' Creed to unexpected destinations (""They say I'm lucky/to be here in the Creed,"" says Pontius Pilate); and more. Humorous, thoughtful and poignant poems in rhyme or free verse. Richard Leach is a poet and visual artist in Stamford, Connecticut. His sacred poetry, words for hymns and anthems, has been set to music by many composers and is widely published and sung. Since 2009 he has written secular verse on many topics and in many forms.
