In this timely yet evergreen collection of poetry, Victor Marrero delves into some of the most plaguing existential mysteries that have eluded centuries of intense scrutiny by historians, poets, philosophers, writers and other scholars. Focused on global events that consumed humanity during the twenty-year period between the end of World War One and the start of World War Two, Marrero's quest for both enlightenment and solace is just as insatiable as it was for the great thinkers and poets before him. And it is this hunger to understand, among other things, why some of the worst aspects of history seem doomed to repeat themselves that Marrero transfers to his reader.
