    About this ebook

    Boems and Ferses is a collection of poetry about life, love, labor, politics, civilization, and the quest for existential freedom. They touch on the human experience from a variety of perspectives. For example, Heaven’s Door shows the reader the world through the eyes of someone on a spiritual journey. Mother, Mother is a testament to the importance of maternal leadership. And Ode to the Lecturer is a lighthearted, humorous look at how some audiences perceive the speeches they hear. Each reader will find one or more verses relevant enough to critique, return to and share with others. The poems were written between 1988 and 2018.

    A Jobain

    A Jobain has written fiction and nonfiction for over several decades with articles appearing in academic and business publications like Campaign, Communicate!, MarketingSherpa, Arabian Business and AMEInfo. His views on advertising in Arabia are included in Wally Snyder's Ethics in Advertising: Making the Case for Doing the Right Thing; and he authored Control: A Children’s Guide to Money, Power & Sex as well as An Anthology of Boems & Ferses. He has worked on 3 continents over the past thirty years, first employed by a horse stable, a gaming arcade, a video cassette rental shop (yes, he’s that old) and several nightclubs; and, once adequately educated, by global ad agencies and real estate developers before succumbing to fatherhood. Since marrying his muse, he's tried to raise 4 @#$%^&!* gentlemen, which has made managing companies feel like a cakewalk. A Jobain’s ebooks are available on Amazon Kindle and Smashwords.
