Marcus J. Mastin, author of such novels as Don't Pay the Ferryman and Don't Fear the Reaper, delivers his first compilation of poetry. Reading this collection of light-hearted poems (mixed with several thought-provoking topics), not only from chapter to chapter, but also differentiating them by the timeline in years, you get to see the progression of Mr. Mastin's work & the evolution of his talent. The various themes of the book are separated into five chapters, each with its own distinctive subject matter. The verse found in this work touches on various topics such as the Columbia spacecraft disaster, the loss of a child, frightening nightmares/creatures, and poems about the changing of seasons.
