Poems.
"Song of the Ghost in the Machine is a free-wheeling philosophical poem that emerged during the walks Roger Horrocks took over one year of his life. In this one-of-a-kind work, he seeks to engage as directly as possible with the basic elements of life, the self and the body, sleeping and waking, death and belief, and above all the strangeness of thought (the ghost in the machine). His curiosity leads him to science, philosophy and literature as he explores what it is to be human"--Publisher's information.
