Unrequited and Other Poems
By Paul Wackell
“Unrequited” is a collection of poems about events, emotions, relationships, friendships, people and memories from the authors life. This debut collection includes poems on topics and experiences that touch many of our lives, from simple pleasures, changes of season, memories of loved ones, love and loss, regret, betrayal, and a deeply personal search for humanity and spirituality.
In these poems Paul not only narrates his experiences and events in his life, he seeks to dig deeper into them, to explore their nuances, and discover their deeper meanings. To quote the author “Much of my work is me just trying to make sense of the events of my life, and looking for answers to questions that might very well turn out to be rhetorical.”
The collection in “Unrequited” is simple and yet complex, both sad and optimistic, light hearted, naïve and yet highly inquisitive, rhetorical, soul searching, filled with poems about, love, new love, lost love, the innocence of love, lust, and many more things life affirming and life exploring.
