    About this ebook

    Writing on Roots is a collection of poetry broken up into five sections, which the author calls "musings." They are musings on: childhood, love, heartbreak, blackness, and poems which asked to be written. This book defines vulnerability, without ever using the word itself. There is a poem in this book for everyone.
