The book is organized in a series of mini-workshops backed up with illustrated examples, so not only will you learn what works and what doesn’t but also you can see the dos and don’ts for yourself. This is an invaluable reference work for students and professional in all fields.

Many of his poems deal with love lost, mental illness, compulsive gambling, philosophy and chances not taken (the what ifs of life).
