Encased in Lines

This book is a non-chronological journey through the poetic rambles of a man throughout many chapters of his life. Each chapter is adorned with a symbol, which embodies that chapter's theme. These themes are as follows: Love (the rose) and its unraveling (the whip), Man's corruption of spirituality (the rod), the struggles of life (the wheel), and the acceptance of death (the spade). The majority of the poems found in this book are written in a unique freestyle form comprised of clever rhyme schemes and an original use of poetic devices.
