Letters and Wisdom from a Poet

About the Book

In reading “Letters and Wisdom from a Poet” the reader will find that most of my writings are based on love, and different concepts that take place in relationships. In admitting that some of my poetry is definitely from life experiences as some of it is mere creativity and just come from my intense imagination. I’ve decided to let the reader figure out which he or she thinks is fictionalized, or nonfiction. Another thing readers might notice is that while reading my poetry it’s not only written in first, second, and third person, but forth person as well. With this what most readers fail to realize is that when you come across words that are in first person not all the time are the words written in that particular text coming from my perspective, but they may also be coming from the perspective of Picasso who is suppose to be the writer’s (myself) split personality. This is what makes every poem unique because the reader must be wise and very patient in discovering the true meaning of not only every sentence their reading, but the person that’s speaking in that particular text, and who they’re addressing. So please take your time, and read very carefully and closely. For if you don’t you might find your self mentally lost in the mist of the “Letters and Wisdom of a Poet.”
