The book Straight Up is a collection of rather very short poems that are a disjoint of emotions that attempts to be forthright to readers in different moods and it different parts. Poetry is a craft and the craft that I attempt to create is for the laid back. The disparate poems are joined by the thread of hope that always peeps out of the grey clouds of mind and matter. The poems assume no standpoint and merely reflect observations of a detached. They seek a space in the acknowledged realm.
