A soulful book of poetry with an elegant style, reminiscent of classic poets.

Isaac Knight has a lyrical flow that elevates his poems. Some of the poems are short but carry enormous emotions. Knight's first poem "Mild Yellow" is just that, and also accompanies by a beautiful photograph taken by the author. Beautiful yellow bursts from trees that match the golden leaves on the ground. He writes:

"In that tempo so cool and mellow

Deep and rhythmic like a cello"

Knight continues
