Comment 4 of 4, added on April 27th, 2006 at 6:08 AM. This is my life... eagle from Cyprus Comment 3 of 4, added on December 4th, 2005 at 7:10 PM. "The Story of Our Lives" is at once desolate and beautiful as it exposes inertia, love lost and the pain therein. Mark Strand is genius in his ability to concisely describe human vulnerability and stark emotional pain. chris from United States Comment 2 of 4, added on May 5th, 2005 at 2:40 AM. It is a philosophical touching lines... What makes strong to a poem? I think firstly thouhgts, so I love your poems, It's a song of thoughts... nia from Turkey Comment 1 of 4, added on December 3rd, 2004 at 12:47 AM. most horrifying poem... reminds me of existentialist stories and plays...
