'Going Home  captivates with a vivid blend of poetry, photographs, and illustrations exploring the spectrum of adult disillusionment while celebrating the beauty of family, love and dreams through a reflective and colorful lens."  https://www.newinbooks.com/ 

'Going Home' continues the journey I started in my first poetry collection, 'Something About Going Home' with illustrations by Christina Qualiana. 'Going Home' is a colorful collection of thoughts, poetry, photographs, and illustrations on growing up and learning about family, friendship, love, sex, dreams, fantasies, drugs, war and god.  100% of revenue will be shared with the artists from Pixabay and FreePik who contributed/provided photographs and illustrations.

The world is full of natural and artificial wonders that are beautiful and colorful.  Every color people see is actually inside their heads… and the stimulus of color, of course, is light. As light pours down on us from the sun, or from a light source in our home, objects and surfaces absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect others.

Let's face it: being an adult can feel like a bit of a disappointment compared to what we pictured the future would be like when we were kids. The burden of adult responsibilities and the restrictions imposed by our realities can make being a grown-up downright unappealing compared to the freedom we imagined we'd have.

It''s not easy writing a new love song. I'm so excited about 'A Different Kind of Wonderful' The poem is in 'Going Home' and I am presently working with an international award winning music artist/songwriter and musicians to turn this into a pop ballad with a roaring chorus. It's going to be a different kind of wonderful! See the Lyric Video here:
