"For Eddie: Cancer Survivor," is poetry blossomed from my soul; written in honor of my brother Eddie who passed from cancer at age 63, but survives for eternity in spirit. He wrote song and poetry but was never published until now through me in spirit. The 63 poems are in honor of his age at passing. The poetry just like Eddie represents a diversity of styles and subject matter from humorous to thought provoking. Poems about areas including; love, nature, spirituality, life, spanning from age inquisitive 17 to now inquisitive 66.
