The Poetic Rantings of a Mad Man presents a collection of the early

work of poet John Yergin. The poems included convey a wide range

of emotions and cover a period of great turmoil and heartbreak in

his life. Because poetry is his chosen outlet for expressing his

emotions and heartbreak, these verses represent a true expression

of his inner self.

Whether he is searching for love, coping with the heartbreak of love lost, or

just trying to determine his rightful place in the universe, his inner turmoil is

etched upon each poem. Some of his poems explore the passion of new love

or explain the misery of a failed crush. This poetry seeks to leave a lasting

impression of the journey taken to find enduring love.
