Now, fifty years later, these pieces remain true to their original form and sentiment. By maintaining the structural integrity of each poem, the author affirms that every work authentically expresses his feelings and thoughts, offering a window into his innermost emotions during the challenging and transformative years of the 1970s and 1980s in Australia.\u003cbr\u003eThis collection stands as a rearrangement of the poetic memoir belonging to a young, and at times bewildered, Australian boy. For him, the act of poetically journaling became a vital tool to declutter and quiet the persistent voices and thoughts within his mind. Through these writings, he sought solace and understanding amidst the confusion and turmoil of his formative years. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerfection is vain man's folly\u003cbr\u003emen who boast of attaining perfection\u003cbr\u003eare foolish\u003cbr\u003eIntegrity true man's hope\u003cbr\u003emen who spruik of honour\u003cbr\u003eare liars\u003cbr\u003eMen who allow others to read their deepest thoughts\u003cbr\u003edevoid of fear of judgement\u003cbr\u003eare men worthy of inner peace \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShane C Richards - 2026","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47593745744023,"sku":"9798246749074","price":986.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798246749074.webp?v=1774983196","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-arrangement-of-a-poetic-memoir-9798246749074","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
