Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This the definitive anthology of Kennedy's poetic works. In it you will find virtually everything he has ever written, including his most recent compositions. It is, almost literally, the poetic story of his life. Kennedy isn't one to mince words. He can be opinionated and is by nature sardonic. He is also a free spirit, open-minded and unconstrained by conventional forms of presentation. His subject matter runs the gamut, but much of his work is focused on God, religion, love, social mores and, of course, the meaning of life. He is passionate. He is profound. He is earthy, mundane- even ribald occasionally; he also sublime. He is questioning. He is a wordsmith; he is complex and sometimes he can be "too simple to understand," as are all deep thinkers. "...He makes us see things not only clearly and whole, but differently than before, the mark of an artist of the first rank." He is a poet for all ages, as will he be a poet for future generations. He is decidedly one of a kind.
