Everything is Smoke is a book of poetry unlike anything written in recent years.
The author uses plain language to invoke the most powerful senses - passion, pride, humour, whimsy - he takes you from the deepest grief to the highest exaltation and all stops in between. He takes raw emotions and imagery drawn from his own life to bring you the strongest experience of yourself as a human being.
A journey into this book is a journey into your own soul as each verse, each stanza, each individual poem will take you to the very extremes of your inner self.
It is the job of the poet to take the triumphs and tragedies, the victories and mundanities that we all experience and can never adequately express, and frame them in such a way as to make the heart quicken. Throughout this book you will experience beauty in the ordinary, wonder in the everyday and be lifted having been filled with the intricate depth of your own life.
You are invited dear reader to take these thoughts, these creations unto yourself and take from them all that you need to walk with renewed meaning and fulfilment.
