In this new edition of the author's first collection of poems, he writes about those simple truths and everyday experiences that inevitably shape our lives. With uncompromising honesty, these poems speak with a vibrant, dynamic voice.

These are poems from the heart, written openly and honestly with always the abiding conviction that they should "tell no lies." Poems that never seek to deny the reality of those other, darker truths of our existence, movingly expressed by one who sees clearly in his own life and experience the central elements of the human condition.
