As a follow up to Joys & Pains, this bigger collection of poetry is alphabetized and covers a wider array of subjects such as hypocrisy, vanity, unconditional love, our progress as a planet, and a poem written in third person. It additionally includes three essays on hope and my personal concepts of freedom and success. Like everything else I do, I'd like my work to inspire those reading.
Ascension: The Journey Continues is a lyrical and upbeat depiction of the struggles of race, religion, role models, music, politics, and other issues facing individuals today. The author challenges the reader to address them from a unique perspective that is uplifting and not preachy. Each story has a few nuggets of wisdom and depth.
