The aim and goal of this book is to carry on the legacy of the greats that have come before me like Langston Hughes, Emile Dickinson, Pablo Neruda and others. This book aims at allowing the soul to speak unobstructed and unrestricted in any way shape or form. Many times, in this fast pace society, we don’t stop and listen to the existential questions and concerns that our soul wants us to tend to. These poems came to fruition out of an inner necessity not just to console my soul but more importantly to console the souls of others that can make a connection with these poems, which I prefer to call letters. They’re letters in that, in them, I carry on conversations with myself but not just for myself. Sometimes a letter is a personal conversation and sometimes the letter is a type of pedagogical monologue, one that seeks to get the reader to look at a topic from a different perspective or with a more critical sensibility. This book is truly a testament to the art of writing, which uses the following fundamental question as a beginning to these letters and that question is- What does it mean to be alive?When it comes to dealing with issues involving life, society, love, history, philosophy or religion, which the reader will encounter in this book many times we find ourselves existentially fighting to make sense of all the dynamics these issues entail. It is through the art of writing that these topics can be best deciphered and brought to the forefront with the hopes that answers can come and so we can better steer ourselves towards happier existential routes. As long as one person was reached with a particular letter in this book, my soul feels humbled and relieved.
