A Trip Inside My Mind: Poems & Commentary

My book is about my theory of what all poetry is stripped to its basic definition and meaning. No matter its form or content. Rhymed or not. Poetry is expressing yourself freed of the rigid rules of prose and sentence structure. We are all poets or should be, and in doing so we can express ourselves in powerful meaningful ways many of us never do. I prove my theory with the contents of my book in which I explore episodes in my own life in poetic form.

I extend my theory further by recommending many if not all existing poets and their poems would be more informative, impactful, meaningful and reach a wider audience if many of them included a commentary in prose for each poem in which they tell the reader something about the poem itself, its relationship to their experiences or anything at all they wish to express to the reader to make their poem a fuller experience to appreciate as I do with the poems in my new book .
