Voice of My Heart

Book excerpt: 'A collection of poems and prose from a young man who has seen the worst of what society has to offer, from street violence to the squandering of childhood dreams. The first section is about the author's search for acceptance. The second section, Letters to a Lost Love, is a prose poem about healing through acceptance of the past. The author sees how he was trapped in a world of hard physical labor and that lack of education has been the catalyst for his fate. In the third section, Soul on Earth, the writer heals himself by reading in front of audiences, and his work begins to reflect a deep fiery passion of joys sparked by the birth of his first child."--Publisher's website.
