An American Poetic Volume Ii: Ghosts

This book explores my more inquisitive nature, with questions throughout the entirety of the work answered and asked. Questions, of society, of the people within society, of the Earth, of the sky, of theology, and of politics, among many other issues that plague my complex mind. I also wrote this in regards to the many people, places, and things that have crossed my path through the years. There are many things that have left impressions on my thought processes and this book embodies every single person, place, thing and moment in time that provided some type of clarity for my tedious meanderings. There is a deep feel of the south in my works, which is reasonable, considering the fact that most of them were written while in Memphis, TN, North Mississippi, and many of the surrounding areas in the south. My heart resides in the south, so in part, this is also an ode to the sweet symphony of a region, simply known as the south. This book was created with a fully opened mind that has tread through the mud, muck, and filth, and still stuck around to tell the world about it. I have seen excess and I have seen the world through the eyes of many decaying faces, so the book's content is conducted to the tone of many voices, as so. With that being said, the words I have written should be perceived with the same clarified thought processes that went in to writing them. Within the words of this work, there lies many hidden meanings and truths, so take special care when reading them. To be understood completely, this work should be read in multiple sittings...
