Pieces Of My Heart

About the Book

The compilation of poetry I have written in my book is over the last 35 years. Some of my work is dark while others are a learning experience to pass on. Many of my pieces were written during times of being in a deeply depressed state. Not wanting to lose the many pieces of my work that were written on scraps of paper during the wee hours of the night, I decided to publish this little book as a way of keeping my writing in one place and also as an accomplishment.
