内容简介：
I owe this book to my high school poetry teacher, Mrs. Erickson. I learned from her how a great oem or story can inspire and uplift the spirit. She also showed me how so many of the great musicians' song lyrics are just poems with a chorus added. Without a doubt the artist who has inspired me most is Jimi Hendrix. Even if you take away the music, his words were about everything we should strive for in our lives-peace, love, and brotherhood. Some of the poems in this book date back as far as 1980, a time in my life when I had just moved to California. It was a hard time in my life, but it inspired me to write and observe the world and everything around me. When I write I try to touch on every aspect of life, the good and the bad. Because that's what life is. I hope that when you read this book, it will make you think and feel about the world around us.
