Böcker av Stephen Holt

In this collection, the author opens up to share his own reality, a reality that he suspects is owned in some way or other by us all.

They are not even necessarily good poetry but are simply the honest reflections of a simple single guy on life, faith, church, and God.

Indeed, Carlos' tame crow Screamer seemed right when he cawed, "Gold, gold! It's murder!"
