You will see a thread that runs through my academic experience, the disappointment with our intellectual enterprise. In some of the poems, love is expressed while in others, there is a philosophical message that is evolving but by no means definitive. I am still basically trying to make sense of the world. I hope you enjoy the collection which is just the beginning of an odyssey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 1.7.8 -->\n<div class=\"quads-location quads-ad2\" id=\"quads-ad2\" style=\"float:none;margin:0px;\">\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<script>\r\n  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({\r\n    google_ad_client: \"ca-pub-5983616716487778\",\r\n    enable_page_level_ads: true\r\n  });\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>Francis O.
