Stanzas and Stances Opher Goodwin

This is my fourth book of poems. It is an anthology with poems written in October 2015 as well as some dating back as far as 1970. There is the usual range of topics from environmental rage to religious and political diatribe. My poems nearly always have a fundamental meaning. I rarely write to merely entertain. My work is a continuum. The explanations are as important as the poems. They support each other. I called this one Stanzas and Stances because that is precisely what it is - a collection of poems and words on various issues of crucial importance. I take a position on most issues. I put it in words. That is what I stand for.
