A Revolution Round the Sun

my poetic sojourn

About the Book

Take the journey with me, as I bare my soul in little bits of prose. I wrote a poem a day, and have collected just over 190 out of the 500+ pieces I wrote.. As the year progresses, I offer advice and perspective on the craft of writing.
