This book serves as a modern day exposé of the seven deadly sins and how they manifest themselves in the fast living throw away culture that is twenty-first-century living. The poems in this anthology offer a modern, fresh examination of these ancient desires.There are poems to suit every reader ranging from the humorous writing of Frieda W. Landau's 'The Diet' to the group of deadly serious poems which scream their rage from the pages of this anthology. The wrath poems are not for the light-hearted with Kate Jones's 'The Butcher' a startling example of that powerful emotion. While the sensual lust poems sprawl provocatively across the pages of Temptation. The nature of lust is explored by Amanda Crum in her poem 'The Things We Carry' and the always uniquely entertaining poet Elisavietta A. Ritchie in her 'Coffee Break'.
