My Book of Life: A Companion Piece Letter to Maya Angelou is a compilation of over 80 short poems and thoughts about life and the lessons learned throughout the experience of living. Many of these pieces specifically examine the lack of honesty and willingness to allow our genuine natures to surface. These works point out that in embracing truth and integrity to express how we truly think and feel, we open ourselves to love and the full experience of living.

My Book of Life: A Companion Piece Letter to Maya Angelou contains a multitude of poems that expressed some really universal, timeless, and important concepts and feelings. In the Final Analysis looks at knowledge and has some very intriguing ideas on what makes a genius and what makes an idiot. It Only Happens at Night urges the reader to use both the brain and the heart in personal communications. Embrace We Naked is a sharp piece about shame and the games we play in relationships. An Ancient Time Upon reinforces this thought with a deeper look at the importance of truth and integrity. Then in answer to these issues, the poet gives great hope and inspiration in Forever and A Day by stating that nothing erases the past like a pleasant present. The photographs that accompany each of these thoughts are absolutely gorgeous.
