PEMBERTON, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, December 12, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Author James B. Anstead explores the different countries of the world through five stanza limericks containing a very specific formula of rhymes in his work Around the World in Five Lines.

Anstead has now spent his time building a successful career teaching in the Covington Independent School within the Northern Kentucky region. The author coaches a basketball team in his free time. He then wrote an essay about his experiences teaching and coaching a summer basketball camp that got printed in the local newspaper. He attributes his special love for poetry and literature to how his mother brought him up.

Pacific Book Reviews commends Anstead’s use of limericks in his work Around the World in Five Lines.
