The Gate: A Collection of Poems

By Ansel Brown

The Gate opens to possibilities. This collection speaks to the nature of the human spirit. The ever-conquering valor that defines us. It presents a passage through to the prospects that await beyond our immediate state and reality of entrapment and confinement. It bears also, the bounties of free thinking attained when psychological walls and chains of inferiority and self-injuring mindsets are crumbled by the constant bombardment of belief. This book seeks to identify and dismantle the shackles binding us. It is an attempt simply to break free.
