When I was in the fourth grade, we had a map of Vietnam on our kitchen wall. When my mother received an airmail letter, she would walk to the map and move one of the stickpins to a new location to see if one of her brothers was in harm’s way in some new hot spot or battle. I spent a lot of time worrying about that map. I had five uncles in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. This is a book about going off to war, a book about coming back home, and a book about those who are left behind.  I dedicate this book to those voices, my family, and every voice calling out at times of war.

This collection is the strangest of them all. I have said many times over the years, I have always felt as if something attached itself to me the day I was born, something evil and malevolent. This force or whatever it is gave me a rage and a hatred that cannot be described, and sometimes it scares the hell out of me. This series of narrative poems tells the story of this entity I refer to as my Dark Angel, although this ain't no heavenly cherub.

Continuing on from the first collection's dark theme, these narrative poems show the hate and rage I felt from the constant bullying and beatings I received during my school days, and how the damage these thugs inflicted upon me was to scar me for life. This collection refers to my feelings of rage and revenge, feelings and thoughts that still stay with me to this very day even though I am now in my 40s. God help anyone that tries to victimize me now for the rage that's buried deep within is only lying dormant like a nightmare that's waiting to awaken and destroy.
