THE CHANGE

About the Book

This anthology includes poems about sexual and physical abuse.
It exposes the deep hurts and pains of a failed marriage and the
complexity of a withdrawn personality. There is also a bit of love and a touch
of nature that shows the lighter side of life.

The language is simple and realistic and the issues exceed the boundaries of
time and place.
