    Sum of Experiences: A Book of Poetry

    About this ebook

    With a title like _Sum of Experiences_ it would be logical to assume that this book is autobiographical in nature. A few poems are based on my memories and observations, but most poems I literally dreamt up (resulting in a mad scramble to jot them down before morning routine erased nighttime musings.) All of the poems are based on experiences, just not necessarily my own.
