From the Back Cover Of Eternal Verse

(BACK COVER FOR ETERNAL VERSE)

With Eternal Verse the poet uses words in carefully crafted poems to express and explore what it is to enter and exist in heaven.  In vivid language he engages the reader in descriptions of what was always considered by most western theologians to be ineffable.
Zwerenz's Eternal Verse has in its depiction of paradise a unique and personal point of view, yet he remains faithful to the Catholic Church's teachings in its Magisterium. In this astounding volume of verse the poet himself travels through the fantastic realm of our eternal end.  Not since Dante's Paradisio has this topic been addressed so triumphantly in the annals of western literature.

About the author:  John Lars Zwerenz (1969- ) is an American poet and writer known for his romantic, impressionistic and mystical works.  He owns a Bachelor's Degree in English From Queens College at The City University Of New York, but at the age of 24 he left his graduate studies in order to travel and write poetry.  This present volume, Eternal Verse, is his sixth collection of poetry.  He is also the author of Selected Poems, a poetic memoir on travel and adventure, Mist and Flame, a book of lyrical, romantic poetry, Visionary Wanderings, a volume compared to the labor and results of Rembrandt which takes the reader on a voyage of still further romantic and mystical adventures, Sonnets of Dusk and Dawn, a collection of sonnets, many in the form of odes, which laud the poet's romantic precursors, and Songs of Rapture and Other Poems, an exclusively mystical work which explores the realms of existential darkness and salvific light.
