I won this book on a Goodreads.com giveaway!

John Dorsey sets his poetry to a beat and rhythm that is soothing and pleasing. Though I'm not a big fan of poetry, I decided to enter Mr. Dorsey's giveaway and give him a try. "Ghosts on the Inside" is a deep, meaningful book of poetry that should be read over and over again.
