Review of Poetry

" This book of poetry which spans nearly 20 years of writing and reflection probes darkness, doubt, living a worthy life and death. There is an absence of the superficial and the overwhelming presence of the depths of human experience and understanding." - Philip Dzialo's full review HERE

Another review

"Eric has amassed a collection of poetry that is, with no exaggeration, sublime. I am always led to think and feel when I read Eric's poetry and it never fails to create a feeling of bittersweetness that I carry with me long after I've set aside the poems." -Kim Wombles' full review HERE

"Author, father and caregiver Eric Fischer has written a book of poetry about this secret club titled "I am a Broken Man, You Can't Break Me." I was a on plane when I read Fischer's book. I was forced to rummage around for a pen - I needed to star and underline passages that shot like a needle into my heart..."

Nec spe, nec metu

Let other men gather bright gold to themselves and own many acres of well-ploughed soil, let endless worry trouble them, with enemies nearby, and the peals of the war trumpets driving away sleep: let my moderate means lead me to a quiet life, as long as my fireside glows with endless flame.

Let me plant the tender vines at the proper time, tall fruit trees, myself a rustic, with skilled hands:nor let hope fail, but deliver the pile-up fruits, and the rich vintage in overflowing vats, since i worship wherever there's a stump left in the fields, or an old stone at the crossroads, wreathed with flowers: and whatever fruit of mine the new season brings I set as an offering before the god of the fields. --Tibullus cca. 55 BC – 19 BC
