The treaty establishing a regime is regarded as an agreement to set some negotiated limits on pursuit of a common foreign policy goal so that full-blown pursuit of that...

The true human being of destiny is perennially seeking out soul. For the poet that summary of feelings is in form and meter, a love song and fluency of the heart. Some have suggested my poetry is akin to Emily Dickinson, as I have aspired to join the mystical and romantic, binding heaven and earth, body and soul, in pensive imagery.
