This collection is the result of many years of internal reflection and reaction. Endless hours of trying to understand the world and the experiences it brought to one person’s struggling perception of the world; my own. It could be that this is its own journey, or that this simply the beginning.
As for dedications, three come to mind. My mom for teaching me how to read and for passing on an enduring appreciation for literature. My dad for his years of grammar awareness. And to whomever it was in my family tree that passed on the gift to turn a blank page into anything imaginable.
‘Human nature has come to define us . . . but we cannot let it blind us.’
Sobre el autor
Michael Wood was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado 1985, the only child of Carmen and Richard Wood. Currently a third generation military service member for over 12 years, his passion and ability to put words onto paper started in middle school. Not the most socially comfortable personality through grade-school, college, and even while pursuing his career, one day he chose to pour his range of emotions onto paper. The rest . . . is pure poetry. Michael grew up in the United States and Germany and has traveled around the world as a representative of the U.S. military. He currently lives in the Pacific Northwest.
