“Rhymes for all times” is the second volume of poems in the Has Doubts series, written by Alexander Velky and published by Doubtist Books at the end of 2015.
Its theme is the uneasy relationship between history and truth.
The volume uses allegory, autobiography, biography, history and polemic to explore, to unravel, to question, to critique and, arguably, to create history.
The book was crowdfunded by a Kickstarter campaign which ran in October/November 2015.
You can read the poems and watch a couple of video performances here. If you like the look of it, please buy a copy or share a link or even consider reviewing it, depending on how you choose to spend your free time.
