The Lifting of the Veil

The Lifting of the Veil is a raw and vulnerable look at poet Eric Cecil. Originally titled Secrets, The Lifting of the Veil is the culmination of a decade of thought and work. Arranged in 3 distinct books, Cecil offers eclectic, autobiographical poems in Book I; challenges dogmatic religious thought in Book II as well as recalls writings from his first book, A-Train Blues; and in Book III offers the reader a new conception of God. Cecil writes using various moods and poems ranging from despair and doubt to hopefulness for a new world based on unconditional love.
