Books by Philip Appleman

An illuminating collection of satirical poems. It homes in on the inconsistencies and downright perversities of what passes in our broad culture as 'Holy Writ'. It lets us hear from priests, televangelists, and faith healers, as well as some sagacious contemporaries, commenting on what it means to live a life of reason.

A collection of poems on Darwinian themes. It reflects the author's perception of the 'overwhelming sanity' of Darwin's thought - together with a visceral sensation of wholeness - of the connectedness of humans and nature, of the present with the past, of joy and sorrow, life and death.
