    About this ebook

    As readers of poetry, we all have our favorite ancient poets like Milton, Blake, Homer, and Rimbaud to name a few. Are you ready to break the mold and read some new, crisp poetry from a new American poet? If so, then you have the right book in hand. My poetry approaches life from many angles. I had a twenty-year career in the military with three combat tours under my belt. Also well explore life, death, afterlife, beauty, eroticism, and evil. All human emotions will run the gambit. My poems play a bit to the darker side of life. But if you want to challenge your mind, my symbolic and sometimes chaotic works are up to the task.
