    About this ebook

    People expect too much of you in this life. You face the challenges of growth with all the strength you can muster. The journey of aging that we face, from infancy to adulthood, can be scientifically defined as Ontogeny. This collection chronicles a large part of my journey: discovering my identity, finding love, finding misery and learning what I am to the world around me. You'll take a peek into the eyes of a first generation Haitian immigrant and poet...an intimate peek. I am not afraid to share. Join me on this path and perhaps you'll learn things about yourself that you otherwise might not have uncovered.

    Richard Renelique

    Richard Joachim Renelique is a Haitian American who was raised in Woodmere, New York, by his parents and older brother. Since the second grade, he has been writing short works of fiction to express his creativity. His first poem was written in 2012 for a public speaking class. He needed to research a poem for presentation, but, due to his odd sense of laziness, decided to write his own and save time. On that fateful day, because of that one poem, Richard fell in love with poetry and he hasn’t stopped writing it since. Among his influences are Andrea Gibson, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Kaufman and Amiri Baraka just to name a few. He's proceeded to deepen his ties to the arts by releasing his own rap music and starting to voice act. He's driven by his seemingly endless imagination and the desire to encourage others to embrace the creators in themselves. He's a firm believer in proper mental health and spiritual practices. You can always ask him a friendly inquiry or request advice and he'll answer with a smile. If you're reading this, know that he thanks you for your interest.
