A world in crisis: Economic. Political. Social. Spiritual. The climate changing, the stock market plunging. Species becoming extinct. Disease, famine, overpopulation. War. Nuclear annihilation? Revolution or evolution? Where is mankind heading? What is the fate of human civilization on our little Planet Earth? In Report From X Star 10, Laurence Overmire, poet, philosopher and visionary, takes the reader on a startling adventure through time and space, a roller coaster ride of up and down emotional twist and turn, burrowing into the dark tunnels of human nature and finishing, somewhat short of breath, somewhere in the light of renewed promise and hopeful beginning.This innovative book of poetry also contains original art by the poet, all created in bitmaps, which Overmire calls "the cave painting of the Technology Age."

Notă biografică

LAURENCE OVERMIRE has had a multi-faceted career as genealogist, poet, actor, director, and educator. He is the author of five genealogy books, including the epic family histories: "One Immigrant's Legacy: The Overmyer Family in America, 1751-2009" and "A Revolutionary American Family: The McDonalds of Somerset County, New Jersey." To help others become aware of their intriguing ancestral ties, Overmire researched many of the early immigrants to America, tracing not only their celebrated ancestors, but also the prominent Americans who descended from them. He published this work in several genealogical studies online, most notably in "The Ancestry of Overmire, Tifft, Richardson, Bradford, Reed," which has received over 1.8 million hits and includes the family trees of many U. S. Presidents and European monarchs, and a host of famous statesmen, soldiers, artists, actors, writers, poets, musicians, scientists, inventors, and social reformers. As one of the pioneers in this type of research online, he has helped hundreds of thousands of people discover their family roots and find their intimate connections to the people and events that have shaped world history.
