RHYME IS NOT A CRIME In this, his second collection of self-created experimental forms, D.E.Walsh explores the intricacies of modern poetry by going through his archives to examine the ideas sometimes seemingly forgotten in contemporary verse. Although many of the works appear autobiographical and/or introspective, they represent a statement about the essence of today's poetics and the nature of the craft itself. Containing both rhymed and open formats with a middle section of 21st-century Psalms to reflect his journey towards, and with, the Lord, these works span more than a decade of devoted writing and an improvement in the ability to illuminate the core of the human condition.
