Everyone has demons. What are yours? Voices spoke to him so he listened and started writing to tell their stories to the world. It is written by a man with a broken heart and internal struggles but you will be gravely mistaken to think it is about a young heart whining for love. The verses are from the depths of a soul. A soul is eternal, hence these words. This man seeks meaning behind life. If happiness is all you seek this book is not for you. This book has secrets you wish you knew. But can you bear the burden that comes with knowing? Read what the author has to say about the book. Our experiences help to shape our outlook towards the universe. The mind savage by birth, fed with negativities it grows into a hideous creature. The world outside may not always be pleasant so we must contemplate what we see and feel to understand the complex truth of this cosmos. I do not deny that the world we live in is free of the darkness, brutality and injustice. I believe, with the knowledge of harsh truth comes equanimity. This is my attempt to give a little meaning to the agonies and burdens we share. It might appear meaningless to some but so is this world. This book is a collection of poems for you but not for me. These are my reflections on love and life. These are my critiques on man and society. These are my views on misery and faith. These words are voices from my soul. -Preface

"A collection of poetry organized in two sections. The first section, "Versed," play with vice and versa, the perversity of human consciousness. They flirt with error and delusion, skating on a thin ice that inevitably cracks. The second section, "Dark Matter," alludes to more than the unseen substance thought to make up the majority of mass in the universe. The invisible and unknowable are confronted directly as the author's experience with cancer marks these poems with a new austerity, shot through with her signature wit and stark unsentimental thinking."--Résumé de l'éditeur.
