My book is a collection of happenings in my daily life that have made me express myself in, let's say, a poetic fashion. Being an avid reader of the poetry of Robert Browning and Dylan Thomas as they write about life, love, and death motivated me to view those three things in a more intimate approach, not to be better than those two, but to leave a legacy of how these three words have affected my view of how others should be treated by me in just the daily moving around this crust of dirt called earth. —author Billy Goode
