Synopsis

This is Perry's first full length collection of work. Well-ublished and nationally recognized as a gifted orator of poetry, his poetry contains prosidy, paean, dense conversant narrative, light Aarku pastoral, essay, global travelogue, and high-impact social re-evaluation. This work compliments his humorous performance poetry with clear, well-crafted poems that rile, rollacoaster and redeem the reader. "Perry is a poet's poet," says author and publisher Lamont B. Steptoe. "He has many literary gifts. The reader cannot help but come away from his poems empowered and inspired. Perry's voice is oracular, playful, honest, infused with a cosmic wisdom and shamanic humor."
