“So, we meet again. I’m glad you’ve decided to return for yet another walk with me. I greatly appreciate your efforts in reading the collection preceding, if you were able to that is. It is my hope that with this collection, though the language and themes may mirror the previous, you are able to gain a clearer understanding of what you’re reading.”
“I will, of course, be dropping in from time to time to discuss what was on my mind at the time of writing these pieces. I always write with an intent aimed at the reader digging deeper. Don’t be afraid to read and read again. I’ll also be including a few more pieces of original artwork in this collection. I still very much enjoy painting; however obscure it may be.”
“These pieces will touch on a great many emotions, attitudes, and view points. I hope as you’re reading them, they allow your mind to travel to places of new perspective and insight. My first collection, The Thirteenth Circle, was quite raw, dark and tumultuous. As I’ve continued to write and collect myself on what it is I’d like to say, I’ve found my rhetoric simplifying and certain messages becoming more clear.”
“I believe that will become apparent as you continue on. Thank you greatly for taking the time to be here. I truly enjoy writing, and though poetry is not to everyone’s taste, I do appreciate how much can be said in so few words. Enjoy.”
