Sobre IBD

Told through poetry alone, Vicious Virginia is the second book in the Prophetic Poems series, which revolves around the life of the author. He made it through one of the country’s and military’s most demanding academic programs, time on a submarine, and countless heartbreaks. Now, he is sent to the coast of Virginia. However, medical ailments remove him from his job, and as he waits to leave the military life behind, the struggles only worsen, as the author faces himself and life in a way completely unlike South Carolina. To add to it, his family life of chaos and torment evolves into a situation far beyond his control, reaching a horrendous pinnacle. On top of it, he battles with God, as well as his newly engaged fiancée as they date from afar. To make matters worse, he is falsely accused and framed of a crime he did not commit, and his separation is delayed.Even more vaguely memoir-based than the first book, these poems are a collection of abstract and dark poetry, covering the transfer from South Carolina to back home and then to Virginia. Then, finally, to the next major change in the author’s life.
