Book excerpt: In this collection of poetry, the author uses irony to “tickle the mind” and to remind the reader that contradictions in life are inescapable and function as a reminder of how precarious and unpredictable life is. Mystery and the unanticipated events that emerge in our lives are teachable moments and according to the author “fate governs life.” For the author, irony represents deliberate contrariness. Reading this poetry will remind the reader of life’s twists and turns. The poetic form used in this book of poetry is rhyme, in addition to incorporating mythological characters such as dragons, mermaids, centaurs and unicorns to have the reader dive deep into a world of magical realism.
