In a basement in Queens, NY, an artist begins to put his thoughts on paper, struggling to exist within the realities of the urban jungle. In this very room where musicians, wrestlers, politicians, and people from every possible background congregate, one feels and hears the heartbeat of life’s story and of the challenges and achievements that can so often lift our spirits and awaken our souls. It is this unfettered diversity of individuals and the challenges of life in today’s world that transformed into a collection of poems, each with their own meaning and feeling. The very act of writing down the inspirations and struggles in a world so complex and unfathomable may seem daunting, but when a person dares to express them, he can relate to the lives of so many that find themselves in an ever changing world. This is what this book is about the fears, dreams and fantasies that surround us. It is a book for those who sit in the basements of our great city and who fight and yearn to revolutionize tomorrow. Each and every entry in this book is a candid reaction to what goes on around us as individuals. The colorful streets of America tell many stories. These are here for the reader to relate to and think about.
The reader will notice upon reading this book that the poems change dramatically in style and context from first to last. This is because each poem was written candidly and the author himself improved and progressed as an individual poet throughout the course of the book’s creation. This collection of poems embodies the personal growth and change we go through in our personal lives. The poems are not simply ideas but a blueprint of the authors changing realities and emotions. What could be a better symbolism for a book about life’s many realities than one that is itself a measure of its authors changing life? Read these poems and imagine the conditions that brought about each one; you may find yourself in them all.
