Poetic Nights

By Dwight Francis

Poetic Nights presents a collection exploring the layers of emotions typically underscoring the human condition. Occasionally incorporating a spiritual approach, I consider the people and ideas seemingly influencing my perspective over a period of time. Along the way, I investigate the relative complexities of human nature and interaction.

From the pain accompanying loss to the strength that may come in a turn heavenward, Poetic Nights covers an array of subject matter (themes relating to romance, family bonds, friendships, and determination). Overall, my contribution is designed to mark phases of own experience as well as to enlighten, motivate, and provoke thought for the reader who might express an interest in a related idea.
