The name Poetic Culture came about through brainstorming with a co-worker late one night on the job as we passed the time on third shift. We shuffled through a few titles and finally reached a consensus on the title presented before you today.

Poetic Culture is a book of poems that I hope will touch others' spirit and soul how it has blessed mine. There are so many relatable pieces within this book for you to discover. It is filled with sex, loyalty, happiness, pain, encouragement, and history. All of your emotions will cycle in and out of your heart and mind. This edition is long overdue, and my own procrastination is the only reason why instead of you as the reader reading Volume 1, aren't reading at least Volume 4 of Poetic Culture by now.

Poetry, I do believe, is my calling card, my safe haven, my niche, and my talent. God blessed me with the gift of gab, as some would say. Seriously though, He has blessed me with a gift of creativity that allows me to form words on paper that mend and blend with rhyme and all kinds of reasons. So, sit back, relax, and indulge in letters that make words form sentences into paragraphs.
