  More Songs the Radio Won’t Play...

  Lyrical poetry inspired by popular songs, Rogal sweeps the reader through the journey of creation.
  		 
  In More Songs the Radio Won’t Play, Stan Rogal takes formerly “popular” tunes (from various genres) and transforms them. Self-referentiality; mashups of the erudite and profane; allusions to other arts and sciences; the insertion and bending of biographical and historical facts; problematic snippets of philosophy and literary theory, quotes, and bastardizations; deploying non- or a-political language to challenge notions of how a poem should work; sampling; and off-kilter humour work together to update Rogal’s playlist for a present-day audience.
  		 
  While his poems unavoidably serve to comment on the world today, Rogal resists a central message. The true emphasis of this collection is on the process of creation. It’s not the destination but the journey that is of significance. Not mere cover versions, not exactly parodies (though parodic), these poems are redactions, mutations, Frankenstein’s monsters … they resemble the original — somewhat — yet are also grossly different.

  Embark on an odyssey through human life and cherish our collective journey with a life-changing collection of haikus. 
  Cherishing and celebrating the passage of human life, this illuminating collection of haikus explores our journey from conception to death. Imbued with profound themes of love, parenthood, relationships, and the rich web of emotions that we experience along the way, this book roams through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and finally old age with a thoughtful narrative that offers reflections on each stage of our growth. 
  Following the classic Japanese haiku structure that has made it such a popular and beloved form of poetry, Just a Passing Moment in Time offers us a window into human life – an event that is a brief moment in eternity, but a powerful and everlasting odyssey for everyone it touches. Author and poet Brett C. Persson invites you on a journey to discover the fullness of human experience, weaving imaginative wordplay that explores everything from the mundane to the extraordinary. 
  Through love and grief, joy and sadness, and the endless discovery and curiosity that drives us into the unknown, this collection will give you a newfound perspective and appreciation for the little things in life, along with those seemingly ordinary moments that hide a vast source of meaning and wonder just below the surface.
