Illustrations of Emotions and Experiences is a collection of poems written by Danon L. Smith. In this book of poetry, Danon explores love, loss, and hope. "Have you ever fallen so deep into an impression, feeling, dream, or collection of thoughts that it seizes your mind, grasps your heart, and refuses to let go until you allow it to escape from your hands and fingers into words on a page? Or perhaps longed for an ear belonging to one who is more stranger than friend? This is my outlet for such thoughts and ideas. The fiction I write is born of an imagination tinged with oddities, colored by romance, and unafraid of exploration.- Danon Smith
