The Dichotomy Project: a Book of Poetry Alison Craven Roberts

Explore facets of humanity told from male and female perspectives that are almost always at odds in this diverse collection of poems.

You'll discover the emotions and truths hiding behind thirty themes, including love, loss, and anger. Find where paths diverge and why men and women view aspects of their lives so differently. Along the way, you'll explore a son's regret and love in "Riding the Storm," a portion of which reads:

I went to Colorado after my mother died. I failed in my honor to be at her bedside. Instead, I chose my military duty at Fort Hood. Yet, there at her graveside with my family I stood.

You'll also discover a girl's deepest desires in "If I Were Pretty," which reads in part:

If I were pretty No one would say "Well, she's got a nice face... Great personality." Compliment and insult in a single line, Because it's everything good, But nothing you want.

Wear a different set of eyes with these and so many more poems and find a fresh rhythm in The Dichotomy Project.
