Carter opens his notebook and begins putting words to paper. He wrestles with rhythm and meaning during his first serious months as a poet. Each piece represents his attempt to capture something real, something that matters. He knows his work falls short of greatness but continues writing anyway. The poems emerge from a personal need to express himself through art. Carter hopes readers will find something that speaks to them in these early efforts. He thanks those willing to spend time with his words. The collection reveals an artist learning his craft and finding his voice. At its heart, this book captures the vulnerable moment when someone decides their inner thoughts deserve to become art.
