In publishing Futile, Mortal, and Bones I am allowing my 'poetic-tapestries' to take their 'quagmired' visions into the unknown empire of tomorrow; as each page is read, as each page is turned, my 'poetry-spun' gates will slowly open; as the writer Ernest Hemingway said: "A man can be destroyed but not defeated."
