Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first inept, but energetic, poetic attempts of a 14 year old boy to the controlled, but somewhat confused, verses of a 32 year old college student, this book is an emotional thrill ride that takes one from teenage lust to early middle age romanticism, from a near denial of the Christian religion to the ponderance of all life as religion, and from a seriousness in all human thought to a silliness that is the result of all this human thought. This is a simple book of poetry that anyone can read without feeling his/her sensiblities are being offended, yet in the juxtaposing of early poems to the late poems, one can realize that the poetry is not a simple process. Poetry, as it should, grows with us a we grow and this book poignantly and energetically shows the maturation of a man, a mind, and a poet.
