My book "Ephemerally Eternal: Ruminations in Reality's Abstraction" is an informative work of illuminatingly honest, insightful, and poignant poetry. This book—a teaching tool—is a composite of many different poetic styles and societal topics; it complexes philosophies of both abstraction and reality and forces the reader to engage in the nuance of each poem. Each piece of my poetry stands alone, however, each poem functions as a building block incorporated into an overall unifying structure. My poetry was comprised to galvanize the mind, body, and spirit and to provide social commentary and explanatory ideas on relevant, contemporary topics. This book of poetry is truly unlike any other and will definitely satiate readers of all levels.
