Bookshop.Org Description

From the alleyways of Ybor City to the last train home on the Washington Metro comes a collection of poems from the scarred yet unrelenting heart. Fred explores themes of noir, addiction, mental health and broken lives through the lens of redemption. When you hit rock bottom the only way out is up. Spit blood, raise your fists and come out fighting.
