Kevin Killian, an injured veteran, romantic, and spiritual man, portrays his life experiences poetically through this heartfelt, thought-provoking anthology. This work will inspire you, keep you captivated, and shock you with its honesty and wittiness. At times you are enamored with the feelings of fear and human aspects of a soldier in battle. At other times you experience the juxtaposition of love, lust, and attachment from an open-hearted romantic. You will even experience a connection with the spiritual realm through an interesting view of God and the Devil. It is his hope to touch your heart, introduce a new life perspective, and be heard.
