Plainfield Follies and Israel to Prague Poems Lee Kitzis

PLAINFIELD FOLLIES and ISRAEL TO PRAGUE POEMS is two books of poetry combined into one. The first part, PLAINFIELD FOLLIES, consists mostly of poems written on the Goddard College campus in Plainfield, Vermont. Others, like QUICK HIGH MOTION and AWAY FROM THE CIRCLE, were written in Philadelphia. THE CITY THAT BEAUTY SLEEPS was written in Montreal. ON HIKING MOUNT WASHINGTON, DOLLY COPP DUSK, and HEAD IN THE CLOUDS were written in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Last but not least, PSYLOCIBE NIGHT ON VENTNOR BEACH was written in Ocean City, New Jersey. Throughout this section of poetry, you will find poems dealing with recollection on my hometown and friends, city life, rural life, sex, spirituality, etc. The second part, ISRAEL TO PRAGUE POEMS, consists of poems written on the sights I saw and friends I made, as well as the stronger sense of religious identity I gained throughout my travels through Prague, Czech. Republic and around Israel. I want this book to strike a chord with people, let them know that there's not only more out there (over-seas), but right here as well, and that's poetry. Poetry is at the end of your nose.
