Depth Perception

About the Book

Depth Perception is the first installment of the new poetic declaration of Essentialism. Poems in this collection are a testimonial of the author's conviction, that he has truly lived, in mind, body, and spirit. As you experience this verse, you will come to realize how Dale deeply attaches to his triumphs and disappointments, exposing himself, and you the reader, as limitless. The works within these pages describe how the author takes the most honest gaze into his own depths, and uses that to interpret the perception of his world. A relationship between writer and reader is boldly and brilliantly displayed. Depth Perception is a highly resonating experiencing of the truth about the Self, and how mobile it can be, if relentlessly embraced. The visionary stature of this verse will take you to the platform of highest absolution. This is a must-read for anyone who wishes to progress, and become proactive in his/her own life. This is like nothing you have ever read before, nor anything you ever will again. Prepare your eyes and heart to be massaged by phrases you will desire to rediscover again and again, or as the author himself directs:
