    About this ebook

    This debut collection of modern accessible poems comes from Rick Perry, a former high school English teacher who still believes in the magic of poetry. There are poems about family and friends, poems about love and loss, and poems inspired simply by the people and memories of an everyday life. Featuring over 80 original poems divided into five chapters, the collection offers something for everyone to enjoy. Some are serious, some are whimsical, but all are honest and heartfelt.
