An excellent read compiled from the voices of writers both fresh and experienced. This anthology reflects the status of the underground world hidden in every city, region, place. It shows that words are capable of lurking in every corner and are engraved on every wall.
The collection contains the screams, the pain, the tragedy, the euphoria, the sorrow, the delight, the ecstasy, the reflection of every poet who engraved their name on it. It is a kaleidoscope that any reader will enjoy looking through only to discover there is not one - but many - worlds waiting for him at the other end.
