Simplicity

By Chuck Florence

Author and poet Chuck Florence has adopted a surprisingly simple approach to verse through Simplicity, that is both subtle and in your face. Within its pages you will find there is something for everyone.

Florence's poetry, however simple, remains symbolic of life anywhere, or at anytime - offering refreshing views into spirit and nature. Sometimes erotic, sometimes indulging, his writings touch mostly upon that which is real, while still courting a bit of fantasy and humor. Through poetry, spirit has given itself to those precious moments in the author's life where nothing was spoken, only felt. In capturing these moments, it is his desire to preserve them in their simplest form, with as little distraction as possible.

Florence's poetic pieces compel in their stark Simplicity as they manage to convey more with less words. Simple yet stirring, this compilation will lure readers into their own private reflections.

Thank you for your purchase.
