    About this ebook

    A collection of poetry that surfaces back and forth from within to the outskirts of the mind, sometimes confused as to what is reality and what is not. Each poem in this collection, as well as the collection as a whole contains a struggle for understanding, while attempting to sabotage that understanding in order to grasp the meaning of human experience.

    C. Anthony Delano

    C. Anthony Delano lives in West Michigan, where he enjoys hiking, reading, writing, painting, and dreams of sailing Lake Michigan.His stories often push the question of reality... does it truly exist? And the dark angle that question inherits, while attempting to remain compassionate towards the characters and settings he creates.Book reviews of my work, good or bad, are appreciated.

      Summer: A Love Story

      Apr 20, 2021

      It is a squalid time. The body grows tired of being a body. Sweat. Always. A thin film of it on the skin. Do not say dewy. Do not say glisten. I dream of endless green. Of wet. Of rain hammering the Earth. Of buds sprouting. I want to insist on life
