This book presents a kaleidoscope of thoughts and emotions that will appeal to anyone willing to explore the reality of our society in the light of a poet’s eye, a poet whose pen can be harsh, but also analytically cold in its description of beauty or ugliness. It is a testimony of American life during the last decades, with its highs and lows, its religious influence, its petty racism and homophobia, its ’naughty’ youths, some funny moments and some darker observations.
