Description

Dr. Doggerel addresses some of the big questions, including an Einstein take on biblical creation, the cruelty of corrupt power, the treason infused through our present government, the great circle of pre-history vs. remembered history, and finally, the beauty of the Earth and the impending disaster that should break our willfulness, but more likely will break our hearts. Set it to rhyme, and there you have Dr. Doggerel's protest howls.

Author Bio

Dr. Doggerel (aka Rev. Dr. Leland Witting) wrote tongue-in-cheek social criticism for his high school newspaper, at Columbia University, in graduate programs at the University of Maine and Bangor Theological Seminary, and as publisher/editor of a small-town weekly newspaper on the coast of Maine. His protest poetry has been aired on Maine community radio, YouTube, social media, in podcasts, and here, for the first time, in book form. He writes, The urge to contrast humanity's stated values with our actual practices remains dogged. Hypocrisy rears its ugly head most readily in political, environmental, corporate and religious practices; howls of protest may mean little more than howling at the moon and yet, that's what we must do - sound a rude alarm.
