Why this book exists

The wide road

Love chased like a drug. Lies told and lies believed. A boy raised by absence, running on desire, collecting wounds and calling them experience. Most poetry books stop here and romanticize the damage.

The narrow road

This book does not stop there. Every misfortune becomes a conversation. Every wound becomes a question put to Christ. The collection moves from the ghetto to the Cross, and it takes you with it.

The journey

13 poems. One road.

The order is not decoration. It is the road itself, from a fatherless boy to a narrow escape. Read them in sequence and you walk it.
