The author's 4th collection of free verse includes the epic journey of the book title and core poem, The Leaves Outside The Forest.
From birth, we live to stay or to leave places and people. We want to find our own way, own Identity, and prove we exist as unique, for the life of our life. Leaving or staying is life-defining.
Does the end justify the means? Does the means predict the end?
