Burning Blue

About the Book

Burning Blue presents a provocative, poetic journey. Lyrical considerations address themes of tyranny, racism, prejudice and discrimination. Bold meditations reflect the injustices, trials and tribulations of the oppressed. Visionary tales reveal those victimized by governments, the fragility of desperation, grief and the tragedy of war. Streams of vibrant verse radiate with fantasy and surreal imagery to illuminate the haunting darkness of a weary world. Burning Blue aspires to replace the indifference of countrymen from all nations with an embracing of diversity, to change the world with a poem.
