"In the lullaby of the insane
Words come and go
Listening to whispering
Tender nothings become
Silent screams in the
Hypnotic worlds of poetry"

This anthology of poems was an explosion of the most darkest emotions and the most gruesome nightmares. To tell you the truth I have never given a collection of poems a rating of 5 stars because no collection of poems has ever taken by breath away or made me think really hard like this one has. It was so stark and descriptive with its emotions and it was so damn beautiful. Not one poem, NOT ONE, was horrible or felt like an interloper in this work of magic. All of the words seemed to tie together making one big poem. I honestly found myself in this work and I know that I would treat my copy with the utmost respect and love.
Peter Adam Salomon, one day the world will find you and when they do they'll squeeze you tight and never let go.
