    About this ebook

    This is no ordinary collection of poems. These are NOT clever, little "feelings pictures" based on my emotions of the moment. This work attempts sharply crafted insights into our cultural chaos. The essay at the end of the book, gives the reader a serious advantage in understanding our world today.
    The author, Damion Boyd, has other works "Is God Dying" and "Primal Ethics".

He married a political refugee from Mexico City, is raising 3 children.His most popular books are Primal Ethics, The Curse of the Poet and Popular Misreads of Reality.He can be reached for comment at ferd453@aol.com.
