PleasurePain & Poetry

About the Book

PleasurePain & Poetry began not as a book but as a form of therapy.  I sought pleasure, experienced pain and inhaled poetry through life experiences.  I began to write one sleepness night to get out what was eating away inside me.  Once my stomach became full with life I would write to empty it, only to start over again. I ran out of sticky notes and transfered my thoughts to paper but could not write fast enough.  I had too many thoughts to process so I stored them on the computer. Two years later, PleasurePain & Poetry materialized.  Join me, take a deep breath and inhale the PleasurePain & Poetry of life.
