    About this ebook

    A bunch of poems that I wrote over many years. There used to be a bunch more but, in a fit of pique one year, I threw away all my writing and began again. These (including my other books) are some of the results. Not all of my remaining poems but definitely my best so far. Although I don't really consider myself much of a poet, I'm pretty proud of these twenty five.
