Caged Bird and the Open Door is a collection of bite-sized chunks of poetry which hold in them entire worlds of angst, hope, heartache, persistence, love, bliss and beauty. This is a peek inside a man's head lit with memories on the cusp of what is real versus what is imagined; it is a pulse of myriad ups and downs, of the bottomless fall and the purposeful rise. This is his story, one small set of strung-up words at a time.
