Poems Unpleasant

The remarkable collection of poems that make up Poems Unpleasant is a series of reflections on the journey each of us takes to find personal meaning in a world filled with sorrow and despair. Poems Unpleasant contains intimate stories of human frailties and the calamity each of us encounters, and captures the human experience of suffering and striving. Suffering for what we have and have not done. Striving to figure out who we are and where we fit in. Poems Unpleasant takes us on the author’s personal journey to sort out life’s complexities and the disturbing realities that we face, with a rare combination of emotional honesty and intensity.

With a nod (and a tribute) to T.S. Eliot, Poems Unpleasant addresses the bleakness of our modern world and the emotional toll it takes on us. Following in the footsteps of Robert Lowell, author Leonard Weintraub takes us on his quest, laying bare his soul with this collection of poems that speaks to all who read it.

Leonard Weintraub is a practicing attorney who lives in Montclair, New Jersey with his wife and their four sons.
