Greater Than Sum

A 7 Section Series of Poems Using 21 Words or Less

By: Donald Alan Straub III

Greater Than Sum, the second book in the Lake Parking Trilogy, is a series of poems using 21 words or less. Stylistically, the poetry was shaped through use of language, a curious exploration of vocabulary, board games & cards, a poetic musicality, and in response to wanting to take an alternate road from the first book in the Trilogy. While it’s a darker journey, splendor is not overlooked in surveying the wide assortment of themes and issues fostered within this book. We’re confronted with both the rational and unreasonable. It’s a puzzle of art and life seen through a looking glass.

Outside the Inner Dialogue

A Haiku a Day for a Year

By: Donald Alan Straub III

Outside the Inner Dialogue is a collection of Haiku poems written during the turn of the Millennium. The task of writing "A Haiku a Day for a Year" emerged from Don searching out a constructive and productive means in dealing with his Grandmother's passing. While sticking with the traditional 5-7-5 line syllable structure, he's chosen to play with the Haikus in unconventional and contrasting ways, exploring any and every subject that comes to mind. It's about taking notice of our surroundings to the most minute and finite degree. This is the first book in the Lake Parking Trilogy.

Life, Death & the Faces and Places Between

By: Donald Straub

LIFE, DEATH, & THE FACES AND PLACES BETWEEN is a collection of 57 poems created over six years, between 1997 and 2003, expressed from the perspective of a man in his mid to late twenties. The poems examine life and death through various poetic styles and viewpoints, probing into territories, both familiar and uncommon. The book tackles a variety of subjects: From hate crimes to love ballads, from surviving cancer to surviving 9-11, from nature to the nature of man: all set against the backdrop of what it is to live in these unpredictable times. Its a reflection of the world and encourages the reader to look beyond the surface for greater meaning. The poems were inspired by first hand experiences, observations of others, and thoughts that seemed to spill out upon the page. It is a fascinating and vulnerable exploration told through poetry.

Enlightened Continuum

249 Topics Illuminated by a Trio of Lanturnes

By: Donald Alan Straub III

ENLIGHTENED CONTINUUM, the third and final book in the Lake Parking Trilogy, is a collection of lanturne poems that when written on the page look to be in the shape of lanterns in using their 1-2-3-4-1 syllables per line structure. A trio of lanturnes are used to illuminate each of the 249 topics. The book is about youth and their search for understanding, their inquisitive nature, their desire to conquer, and sometimes being trampled upon. It draws upon the dark and light of life, taking notice of ideas both small and large. It is a way of working toward balance. These poems are food for thought, combining the yesterday and today as indicators of tomorrow’s trajectory. They are slices of time that allow us to contemplate. It is specifically about people who inspire me and issues that excite or trouble me. I draw material from the day’s headlines and pop culture. Some themes are uncomplicated, and others are heavy in nature. The poems are candid in language and play out against the backdrop of history. It is about capturing the subject in a straightforward manner, bringing a clear focus to the work. The goal is to get back in touch with our greater humanity.
