About the Book

Journey Through Life and Love contains poems of varying tones and rhyme schemes and generally centered around the idea of love. It's interesting because it gives a glimpse of the subject in different moods, which is different from the fantastical way it is traditionally portrayed. Love brings together and makes everything better, but love can also tear things apart and drive people to madness. It's all relative, and all about perspective. Mazyck wants the reader to feel every word and be able to see what the subject of each poem sees while he deliberates or takes an action.
