This is the first draft of A Book of Poems: Perceptions, Deceptions, Receptions, & What !?! It consists of poems written most between 2002-2008 with some older & some newer. There has been very little editing from the jotted down on paper or occasionally online which also has left them mostly without proper punctuation & grammar. This series looks at the ideas of what we face as we look out at our own world & the worlds of others. The wish is to offer some of the multifaceted views of the collective journey we are on.
