I composed the above poem using books found on the shelves in my home. Since I favor epic fantasy as a preferred reading genre, I sought a saga of epoch proportions in answer to the call for a book title poem from the Kansas City Public Library's celebration of National Library week. See my earlier post for details on how to participate in the fun.
