Once More with Feeling: Poems by Arnold David Richards

“Once More With Feeling is the most recent collection of poems emerging from the creative mind of Arnold David Richards. ‘Once more with feeling!’ That’s what the bandleader calls out to the musicians in practice, what the director calls out to the actors in rehearsal, and what Arnie calls out to the world in our ‘time of troubles.’ Come on, people, once more, and this time with feeling, with emotion, with relatedness, with care, and with love! Arnie’s mind is mounted upon the pillars of art and science, history and nature. He is a modern man recording our contemporary moment in his teachings, his photos, and his poetry, while living it out in his work and his relationships. Arnie rides on the wave of our present historical moment. He takes a survey of life on planet earth, what has happened and what is happening, what works and what doesn’t. He describes in poetry what he has seen and learned, and leaves his poem as a seed for us to plant in contemporary soil for a better tomorrow.”
—Daniel S. Benveniste, PhD author of Libido, Culture, and Consciousness: Revisiting Freud’s Totem and Taboo
