Description - Perfidious Proverbs And Other Poems by Philip Appleman
This is an illuminating and wickedly entertaining collection of satirical poems. In this collection of satirical poems, renowned poet Philip Appleman homes in on the inconsistencies and downright perversities of what passes in our broad culture as 'Holy Writ'. Turning to satire, with its long and distinguished record of exposing folly and bringing enlightenment through humour, Appleman leaves no doubt that primitive religion posing as eternal truth is just the sort of folly that satire is meant to address. Appleman lets his poetic imagination roam widely, as he takes on the roles of Eve, Noah, Sarah, Jonah, David, Mary, Jesus, Judas, and even the biblical Jehovah Himself. We also hear from priests, televangelists, and faith healers, as well as some sagacious contemporaries, commenting on what it means to live a life of reason.
