About the Book
Educational and Stimulating!!! This short book of "Free-Flow Poetry", will peak your thoughts, it is about the rough times, some good times, those tough experiences and the joyful experiences. You remember what and how you described those past situations, and you become emotional and connect with or for, what ever it is that may have happened in your life. It is not a lengthy book of poetry, so you can feel comfortable and not bored reading the poems and anecdotes knowing that you will finish and feel a sense of accomplishment and astonishment. Do you remember?
I remember always looking for a book that would tell me, "what is on the inside, and how many pages are there to the book". I just wanted to get on with the book, especially if it was a course assignment. This book will do just that for you....Pick it up, feel it in your hands, look at it, not only with your eyes but with your mind, your instinct, your gut feeling. This book has the potential to open up thoughts and emotions that have been dormant for quite some time in your life. Some poems may be confusing, but you can conclude with a great sense of accomplishment, on your own, or with others, your own "Free" interpretation.
"It is O.K. to be confused, it will not be later on down the road".

About the Author
It is quite simple....I grew up not rich and definitely not poor. I had fantasies and still do, just like I did when I was growing up. Some of these fantasies turned into dreams and some, or a few of these dreams I have tried to make into reality. I am Richard E. James and I am Richard E. Joslin, I am definitely not two people. I was born and grew up in Wichita, Kansas, the land of OZ, as people would say. My life has been from one extreme to another. I made decent grades in school, because I always felt that you could never measure a persons knowledge or comprehension level via testing or writing some stuff on paper. The best measurement, for me, was how you applied what you learned in a reality sense. I am definitely not the guy next door....I am the best neighbor down the street type. This small book is an extremely large step in the right direction, for me. It lets people know "Who I Am" and how much of me is like you, regardless of your race, creed or color.
