Pills for the First Night

‘Pills for the First Night’ is the second of the hospital series by the author. While distracting patients is a theme throughout the series, each book may be read independently and in any order. A defining feature of this anthology is restless verse primed to divert sluggish thoughts away from pending medical appointments to refocus on the fabric of society. Illustrated plays are punctuated with sycophantic images of politicians and other despots who are eager to listen to advice from the public.
Various office holders suffer sleepless nights thinking about how best they can serve the public during their tenure in public office. Hospital inmates may discover solace by offering these brave public representatives some advice to ease their tremendous burden of social responsibility. Resolving the illness in society can be a cathartic process simultaneously recovering both the patient and society.
Pills for the First Night can be distinguished from the other books in the hospital series by aesthetic considerations to compliment political contemplation. Modesty forbids the author grabbing this opportunity to ‘blow his own trumpet’ by displaying his paintings yet suffice to say, pleasant doggerel waits to float your mind from the summits of the remote Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria to be whisked across seas and ocean to picturesque river scenes of the British Isles before terminating in the intrusive recesses of the author’s mind where stark views upon art and aesthetics lurk.
Also in the hospital series:

Due to popular demand, the series has been compiled into one book called Sweet Pills for the Hospital Ward.
