A Cycle of Poems in Experimentation Continued Michael A. Sardo

?A Cycle of Poems in Experimentation Continued? is a collection of contemporary poetry. The first book was published in 1953, and now is out of print. Although written some 47 years ago, the content is as timely now in the year 2000 as it was then. The tone and color of the poems relate to this present day and time of social unrest and uneasiness. The past and present collection covers a wide gamut of emotions, feelings and images. ?A Cycle of Poems in Experimentation Continued? represents not only words and poetic thought but a visual expression of forms and shapes. Although some of the ideas are not in accordance with formal poetic style, the poems have a place in today?s contemporary thought. Traditional form and discipline in writing are not this author?s style. The color gray seems to be the road he travels. The sensation of looking down into a valley of emptiness captures the reader?s mind. The sounds that echo from below are neither harmonious or melodic. The author was twenty-one when the first part of this book was published in 1953. The poet, now older and wiser, still has something to say. Michael A. J. Sardo has not changed his thoughts and views on writing contemporary poetry in forty-seven years. He, as a poet, uses abstract forms, designs, shapes, and silent sounds to display his work.
