I would recommend these book to anyone looking for some inspiration in their lives.
Tanya

I read a lot of poetry and can recognize authenticity, coupled with learned and lean adaptations. This is the human psyche with a romantic view, maybe like Shelley

or Byron. Its modern though, and easy to "grok".

Edward I. Rosenthal

The poetry felt genuine and emotional.

Melissa

Great poetic verse...the right balance of life’s journey and the singing of a well placed word.
