Description

Non-fiction poetry and verse that laughs and cries from reflecting on the irony of free existence, ALTER EGO was originally influenced by Maya Angelou and Lord Byron. The dominant themes in Levi's work are psychology, biographies, existentialism, romance, and the elusiveness of time. Being a San Francisco psychotherapist for 36 years gives one a perspective like no other for getting inside the heads and understanding the alter egos of sub-cultures.

As we watch others scaling the mountain of purpose and meaning, we take comfort in reading their experience of dramas and ecstasy. Each one of us searches for truth in our own manner within our own understanding; as it should be. So, please join us in this journey of discovery as we make friends with new ALTER EGOS.

The elusiveness of time is a central theme in Levi's work, as the poet grapples with the fleeting nature of existence and the constant search for meaning. The biographies and psychological insights woven throughout the verses offer a window into the complex inner workings of the human mind, exploring the duality of the self and the often-hidden alter egos that shape our experiences.

Existentialism, too, emerges as a dominant thread, as the poet contemplates the nature of free will and the burden of individual choice. The romantic elements in the work provide a counterpoint, exploring the joys and sorrows of love and the ways in which our relationships with others can both fulfill and complicate our understanding of ourselves.

As a San Francisco psychotherapist, Levi brings a unique perspective to the exploration of these themes, drawing upon decades of experience in helping others navigate the complexities of the human psyche. The poet's intimate understanding of the subcultures and the diverse range of experiences that make up the tapestry of the city lends a richness and authenticity to the work.

In the end, ALTER EGO invites the reader to join in a journey of self-discovery, to confront the paradoxes and contradictions that lie at the heart of the human experience. Through the power of language and the insights of a skilled observer, Levi encourages us to embrace the multiplicity of our own alter egos, to find solace in the shared experiences of others, and to continue the never-ending quest for truth and meaning.
