The Unspoken Words

About the Book

What inspired me to begin writing poems? I grew up in a place called the hill district in Pittsburgh, PA. It wasn’t normal and manly to express his true feelings, out of fear of being put down or run over. So I would write mine down on paper and start saving them from 1989 up until this date in time. My girlfriend encouraged me to write this book the moment she started reading pieces I had tucked in my dresser drawers. This book of poems is some of my true feelings being expressed.

About the Author

Born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, at the age of three, moved to the Hill District of Pittsburgh, PA. It was hard for a man to express his true feelings without being looked down on or totally run over. I had a life of crime and struggled for years with my drug addiction, until I started writing my feelings on paper and dealing with my addiction head-on with the help of others and my higher power, which I choose to call God. Writing, for me, is a great deal of therapy.
