If Only Tears Could Talk

This is a book of poetry based on confessional writing of the author and others. It addresses the themes of individual, social and political violation which has allowed others to throw off the burden of guilt or shame that has been demanded by those who have abused and oppressed. Many of the poems contain a highly charged confessional that may challenge or charm the reader. A poem stands alone, unsupported; it is a work of art. Although a poem often has driven intent its either a degree of possession or its a degree of failure according to the ears and minds on which it befalls. Communication takes place either directly or indirectly. An experience in a subconscious mind, a vision to the poet.
