In the beginning with my writing, I was hiding behind my secretive walls with isolation, writing poetry from my own anger, lost of love, intensity, stress, and fear of losing my mind. Until years down the line, I found The Neighborhood Writing Alliance with Humboldt Park, along with Lulu Publishing Services and a great team whom would accept my book to create this monster of illusion into a masterpiece. Throughout 2015 my poetry book has been through many stages with Lulu Publishing Services and now after completing that book and publishing with them I will now be publishing my 7th publication and 2nd book with a new publisher. More Art, design, creativity, simplicity, animation, imagination, and beautiful thinking; which will finally be wrapped up into another book. So off to the world of writing into the midnight and beyond while I struggle and stress to make this the more accomplished love story book supporting cancer victims, domestic violence victims, lovers, and too the people I so love dearly. This will be a new Book of Life and Unique Vision! My next poetry book will hopefully be published in 2018. This book will be full of poems written about love, passion, angry love, relationships, and supporting domestic violence and cancer victims as well. So stay tuned for this exciting new life journey that I will be celebrating with the world! Reading my poetry will also give you a glimpse into one man’s journey through life as I transform struggles into lessons and learn to embrace simple joys. So if you want to take a quick peek inside some of my poetry to see what inspires me to celebrate and rejoice each day, reach beyond your imagination and pick up a copy of my book "Through My Eyes Only" to enjoy a unique world of poetry.
