    About this ebook

    An approach to reality that takes on a comical, whimsical element at times with a blending of smooth flowing rhymes, irony and empathy, shifting from drastically dark even moody to supremely sad. Moving from happy heights to sad depressed lows, a well-rounded individual and writer, many identify with Y-not and his unique style of expression.
