    About this ebook

    Find here a book of poetry tracing the philosophical, inward journey from the youthful drive of innocence to the rhetorical drive of disillusionment on the road to ecstatic meaning.

    Embark with faith and stubborn resolve on a journey to the deconstruction of everything and venture to find love in the eye of the storm.
