Poetry is a form of writing that allows a writer to take total freedom with form, structure, and words - allowing a configuration of literary magic to appear. Although the author orchestrates the page, interpretation is left to the reader. As you will see reading this book, poetry can take many forms – each yielding only to its’ own uniqueness. Each poem holds various meanings and significance. Read, internalize, enjoy!
