"The Novelty of i" is Published in Synchronized Chaos Magazine

I am pleased to announce that "The Novelty of i" is published in the local Synchronized Chaos magazine. 
This is what the editor had to say about this piece: "Returning poet Dave Douglas points out that Western society’s modern focus on individualism is not a constant or usual part of our human history.  The concept of individual identity, self expression, value, empowerment and purchasing power, which we now see reinforced through our cultural media and marketing messages, is an artifact of particular times and places and comes with advantages and disadvantages. Douglas critiques the shallow consumerism that he sees as coming out of a culture where people assert their identity through buying the latest personal electronics products."

Seven Nights to Dream - POEM of the MONTH!



Seven Nights to Dream

One world
To multiply
Two hemispheres
Divide –
But three strands
Abide

Four seasons
Of extreme
Five and dime
Worth of advice

Six days
Until yesterday
Seven nights
To dream!
