Book excerpt: Black Beetles in Amber by Ambrose Bierce is a collection of angry political poems fixating on figures from nineteenth-century American society. This satire provides scalding reviews of prominent political heads of government at the time. Excerpt: " I dreamed I was dreaming one morn as I lay In a garden with flowers teeming. On an island I lay in a mystical bay, In the dream that I dreamed, I was dreaming. The ghost of a scent—had it followed me there From the place where I truly was resting?"
