Lost In My Whirlwind

When I compiled the poems to release my first book "Stories I Told Myself," I wasn't sure if the ones I was excluding were a good idea. I was even more worried that they wouldn't see the light of day. When I returned the next year with "M.E. & H.E.R. A Love Story," some of those poems found their way into the story I was telling through poetry. But still as before, many pieces that I liked or worked on after finalizing the list were left to the side. In the time afterwards, the poems that just found their way to my pen also seemed destined to never be seen. And indeed they almost stayed that way. When this collection was first ready to be released a flooding of my home left the data needed to finish lost on some non working media. But in the time since, it has been recovered. So I am able to now present to you "Lost In My Whirlwind" as I intended. The collection takes the poems from both of my previous poetry books as well as a slew of newer and unseen poems, and reorganizes them into a new experience. I hope you enough the look into my mind, as well as this celebration of my past works.
