Poetry's Protagonist Valencia Benjamin

There will be love, there will be lust, there will be betrayal, and there will be death ... such is a life. This book is a collection of poetry, based on the life of one man, who has an incredible passion for writing. In this book of poetry, I will tell of the struggle of the protagonist, via poetry - no other avenue. The protagonist is not measured (labeled) by name, hair color, ethnicity, or body shape, in order to truly tell the story of who he is from the perspective of the conscience, the passion of the protagonist, not the confines of societal labels, norms, etc. The portrayal of this man is meant to be vivid in human nature, not aesthetic measures. The struggle of the protagonist depicts the constant, of passion, love, family... emotion. He lives immeasurably within life, a fact that will lead to many struggles throughout his life. The book will follow the protagonist all the way up to his death, where the beauty of his soul will, no doubt, resonate with the critical thinkers of life, spirituality, love... emotion.
