This is a courageous and thought provoking collection of free verse poetry - packed into a small book full of profound imagery and artfully sketched vignettes. The book is written mostly in English with a tiny bit in German, specifically one entry titled: Birthday in Austria. The intriguing little stories connect the reader with life themes and aspects of the human condition in the selections called: Hope, Grace, Shortcomings, and Immortality.
I enjoyed reading it and especially the poem titled: An RA Related Violation. I found it highly relatable and was pleased to see the explanation that followed. The author has an astute eye for unmasking the snags and hiccups underlying human interactions and our attempts to reestablish a sense of normalcy.
Having been a college RA myself, I recalled that there were a number of bizarre and even comical events that I had to deal with while handling freshman at USC.
This book offers engaging mental detours from one’s life if one needs a diversion. I think college students will see themselves in these pages but younger students will find insights too. Highly recommended.

This book has a selection of poetry and the start of a novel. The author also provided some sections to explain the context of the poetry. The poems and unfinished story were very interesting and thought-provoking. I thought the unfinished story was unique and would like to read the rest of it.
