I wrote the book, Easy to Carry, based on my life experiences. In the pages of this book, I share the ups and downs of my life's journey through poems that have a combination of beauty and encouragement. These poems can be applied to every day life and contain words of wisdom that I have used to help me get by. Included in this book are also a brief history of poetry, including how it evolved into what we enjoy today, and a list of the most common types of poems.
