‘X Factor’ eBook
‘X Factor’ is a collection of 18 poems from the oeuvre of Fred Chandler’s extensive body of work. “I’m well acquainted with fear and death. I’m the captain on this deck,” writes Chandler in the poem ‘X Factor’. In these poems, the poet explores the unknown and the familiar alike – at once lyrical and poignant, humorous and searching for meaning in a world that knows “the worth of its own loss.”
‘A Flying Frog’ eBook
‘A Flying Frog’ contains poems and images that accompany readers as “we journey through this life writing a biography inside our hearts” (from the poem, ‘For the Earth Only’). At times emphatic and philosophical, this collection of poems never pauses to breathe. It moves forward ferociously with energy and vivacity, constructing a bright light with which to shine on life.
