Kent Piper

At the young age of 10 yrs old, Kent Piper started writing poetry. It was the reaction from people that read his poetry that led him to write more and on a serious level. Inspired by life events and his love for writing he decided to share his work with us all. With this fi rst edition it’s clear to see that this is just the beginning of what is to come from this up and coming author. He resides in North Carolina with his daughter and dedicates this book to the memory of his mother.
