On The Way Home

ON THE WAY HOME is a handful of poems written over the course of five years about growing up. The narrative begins with baby steps away from home, escalates with the conflict of taking a wrong turn, accepts the need for a tune-up, and resolves with an elusive, unfinished ending. Even though this book has a start and an end, the narrative of growing up extends beyond these pages. This anthology represents a young, ever-evolving voice among billions, a voice that is still learning that the fight for significance is not a competition, but a demonstration of listening, rapport, and compassion.
