The Book of Ecclesiastes is one of the books of the Tanakh as well as the Old Testament, written around c450-200 BCE. The book represents reflections on a person's life. Perhaps one of the most well known quotes from the third chapter (thanks to Pete Seeger's song "Turn! Turn! Turn!" and the Byrds recorded version of the song) sets the framework for the 29 poems in this collection. Each portion of the passage serves as a subject for a poem. Each poem provides the reader an opportunity to reflect.
