"My Iron Butterfly" is an eclectically styled collection of 78 poems surrounding family, interactions with and perceptions of the world, faith and sadness/grief. This anthology of reflection is intended for persons who need an outlet in expressing their feelings or for those persons trying to make sense of their thoughts and impressions on said topics. It is also for persons who consider themselves, their place in the world and the little things we would otherwise miss that leave an impact. Within these pages is a captured essence of some of my most personal experiences; experiences that I know so many share in themselves or have witnessed. It is my hope that this collection of poetic work will impact someone who can identify with the content and draw inspiration from it. - Jaevel Brown
