This journey we all call life is deeply personal and individual to all of us, but some themes and stories interlock almost invariably. Throughout these pages, there is an exploration of those themes and ideas, inviting readers from all experiences to share through the wonderful medium of poetry what this life we lead means to them. Every work offers up a perspective and viewpoint meant to be changed, adapted, and renewed by everyone who reads it. They invite everyone to author their own story on this wonderful journey we all call life.
