Reality Poetry

About the Book

A SUMMARY OF MY BOOK – REALITY POETRY By reality, I mean or think of people and true-to-life events in the world. There is drama and poetry in people and current events. That is the theme or the summary of my book. In my poems there are referenced how the lives of celebrities, famous and unique personalities or ordinary people, or ideas and actions affect the community and the world. My poems on Obama, Kobe, Anna Nicole Smith, Rev. Wright, VT Massacre, Kevin Carter, O.J. Simpson, King Solomon, Eve of Eden, NY Gov. Spitzer, among others illustrate the point or my idea of reality poetry.
