Purpose of Truth (eBook)

'It's the details of a thing...what eye love about Gabe's poetry. The depth in the beauty of a moment slowed way down... Eye enter her words and the legs of my mind and heart slow to stroll as eye am carried like a precious thing on the words of her song...her poetry. From the warm feel of the water on my skin as a single mother washes the dishes and sneaks in some dreaming to the joy found in laughter... What a beautiful walk this is...and its the kind that doesnt make one tired...and you wanna turn around and do it again...so eye will.' - E. Nina Jay, poet, Chicago, Illinois'This collection brings with it an eclectic mix of words creating imagery in one's mind of which to get lost in.
