Book Cover & Preview Text
___All choices lead somewhere; to country homes or penthouse suites, prison cells or cardboard boxes. There is no escape from them. Gravity is the law and it’s long arm will reach out like the bony limbs of skeletons left too long in closets. To point at last and say “Him, he is the one, the perpetrator.”____ David Arnold Hughes

About the Book
"
A collection of poems whose fixationin time and subject matter ranges from the romantic to the political to the phantasmal. The images portrayed give a sense that years separate the events and emotions inspiring them. Though they are based on the experiences of one person still they seem to inspire in the reader something akin to déjà vu which may occasionally cause the hair follicles to stand on end.
