The search for oneself in this journey of life.” –Chanelle Robinson, Goodreads “We enter a consciousness where desire is a dream state, and I find myself longing to reunite with my Lover and give him the world’s last drop of rain, or the raven moon, or a road he may travel that will never end.” –YogiMa.Org “His poetry is haunting and evocative, and the beautiful art that intersperses the pages . . . captures the mood of his words perfectly.” –Rohase Piercy, Goodreads “Honest, deep, soul-touching.
