Résumé :
Which poem prompted Canadian author George Jonas to wake his wife Barbara Amiel from a deep sleep at 3:00 a.m.? The answer will be revealed when you read Versibition. Versibition is not intended for the prudish, or faint of heart. The 90 poems and illustrations featured in this book deal with mature and deeply personal experiences that have spanned a lifetime. Each poem explores a variety of themes, including sex, love, loyalty, divorce, death and loss. The title Versibition is a portmanteau created to describe what is found in this book.
