Midnight Arcade is an easy read poetry book which covers a wide range of topics. It was written with no regard to poetry rules---or at least a healthy disdain for them. You will find a vast array of rhyming and non-rhyming techniques in Midnight Arcade. On the brighter side are poems dealing with love of nature, love of God, faith, hope, marriage, parenting and growing old. On the darker side are poems dealing with failure, doubt, despair, and death. The eclectic nature of the book makes it fairly user friendly for anyone seeking an hour of humor or spiritual insight or a confirmation that life, indeed, occasionally just sucks.
