In the Time of Our Innocence Pure: A Collection of Poems,Written from 7/2010 to 7/2011 as Posted Online

By Red Moon

This book started with a simple poem;or the writing of a few ideas around the 4th of July 2010. This is a pleasant time of year in America and got things going in the right direction. Soon,as the year progressed,more and more events shaped occurrences and this book began to take on a life of its own. In short,it was the right time for me to embark on this project and am happy with its outcome. These poems explore the edge,of modern life with a core of traditionalism. I only hope that the world enjoys reading them as much as I enjoyed putting them down on paper. I am also hoping to do some good with this book and have decided to donate half of the proceeds to disaster relief. It has been an epic year of natural disasters,and many peoples lives have been affected by tornados, hurricanes,flooding,earthquakes and wildfires. If this book raises funds I will be looking to help those families who are still rebuilding. L.O.L
