Maestro I sat in the theater box Almost in half-sleep. Maestro entered the podium A virtuoso conductor With disheveled hair. His first move with his baton And... it happened! Before my very eyes And in the world of my sensations I saw, I felt miracles' power Like in stellar storm with lightnings! Appassionata! Revolutionary Etude! Magic Flute! A night in Venice! The Queen of Spades! Blue Rhapsody! Lost paradise! Adagio! Ah, I felt being in paradise! Among the angels! The divine choir resounded! And when the curtain fell I suddenly found myself Back on Earth. Changed, reborn... My motto 'to be, always to be' Skyrocketed to new dimensions. Author: Thaddeus Hutyra

For author I. M. Enough, self-hatred began at a young age, and he turned to food to escape. He dodged the bottle until his early twenties, but once he began drinking, there was no stopping him. He sacrificed morals, family, and livelihood for the next drink. He combined that with a tortuous relationship that lasted for a decade too long, and became the laughingstock of his own life. The asinine things he did made for captivating stories that lie within the walls of this book. Hiding in Plain Sight shares his story while addressing several misunderstood issues about addiction. Enough touches on alcoholic thinking, a process describing how your brain changes with alcohol. He describes in detail how he beat the ignition interlock device to still drive drunk, and how close he was to becoming a serial killer. All his tales lead to a profound, enthralling, and unexpected ending. By sharing his personal history, Enough hopes to help change your worldview and perhaps make you a little more empathetic to what others are going through. He is proof that anything is possible and that a little hope can go a long way. This personal narrative presents a man’s journey as he overcame alcoholism, obesity, trauma, and codependence.

The poets give you an insider’s view of the complexities surrounding the African life in politics, love, marriage, genders, feminism, patriarchy, marriage, and society as a whole.
