Mr. Zwerenzs Selected Poems is an anthology of poetry from the authors earlier years and reads like a sort of rhyming travel diary. The author introduces to the readers mind visions of castles and carriages in a time of cellular phones and the internet. Selected Poems, if it aspires to accomplish anything consciously specific, appears to make an attempt to capture what is apparently "timeless", at least ostensibly to the books author. Whether the reader agrees with Mr. Zwerenzs appraisal of what constitutes "timelessness" is clearly a subjective matter. Much of the book is comprised of sonnets, and almost all are written in a romantic fashion not too far distant from much of the tone of the 19th centurys movements founders. For fans of Mist And Flame, the 42 year olds other published poetry book, Selected Poems gives a keen insight into Mr. Zwerenzs earlier days as a poet.
