    About this ebook

    Whispers Through the Veil is a series of poems and prose that have been compiled from John Harrison's personal writings to rekindle the collective imagination of the world as well as to give insight into aspects of life that people do not always consider on a day to day basis.

    The first book, The Poetic Reality of Love and Loss, is dedicated to the ideas of Love and Loss. Although many may believe that these ideals are separate, they are really two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other and these poems illustrate that through their imagery perfectly.
