About the Book

In this book I have a compiled a series of poems which reach beyond poetry. My poetry touches on subjects I feel have been put in the back burner by society. Through poetry I have undertaken the task of advocating for the weakened, beaten, forgotten, and many times silenced. LIFE THROUGH POETRY’s mission is to bring to light these very complex and pushed aside issues which affect us all one way or another, by bringing them to the forefront of the public’s consciousness, I’m hoping to stimulate each individual whose hands this book finds itself in to do something more than just feel sympathy for those directly affected by them. ____________________________________________________________ THIS BOOK IS A SURROGATE VOICE TO THOSE VICTIMS AFFECTED BY DOMESTIC VIOLANCE, INCEST, CHILD SLAVERY, CHILD SOLDIERS,THE SEXUALLY CONFUSED, THE GENDERLY DISCREMINATED AGAINST, AIDS VICTIMS AND THE FATALLY ILL. (5% OF ALL PROCEEDS WILL BE USED TO SUPPORT SAIS VICTIMS)

MY CURRENT PROJECT IS OPENING A MENTAL HEALTH REHABILITATION CENTER FOR CHILDREN WHO'VE BEEN VICTIMIZED DURING THE 27 YEAR LONG CIVIL WAR WHICH AFFECTED MY HOME COUNTRY ANGOLA.

THOUGH I AM HAITIAN-DOMICAN / ANGOLAN-CONGOLESE.... AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND EMBRACE EACH AND EVERY PART OFMY HERITAGE.. ANGOLA IS WHERE I CALL HOME FOR IT IS THE COUNTRY WHICH HASFOREVER STOLEN MY HEART)
