This is the heartfelt debut by poet, Jeff Oliver. He has created an eclectic composition of prose, with a universal appeal. His mosaic of words varies from his desire to live his own dreams, not the dreams of others, to a profound love for his soul mate. His heart renders passionate prose and sounds; addressing racial bigotry, an unkind political temperature, social mores, all while expressing tenderness and longing and abiding passion.Jeff Oliver has experienced various, albeit difficult life lessons, which fermented and grew as a fine wine; into a beautiful cacophony of verse. I predict he will be considered a poet for all seasons; his words have a lovely flow and syntax, pleasing to the mind and soul. There are things hidden within, for the reader to discover and reply, "Yes, I feel that too."Brenda-Lee Ranta, author of A Soul Passenger.
