Secrets From a Four Leaf Clover

There are times in life when poetry becomes a compelling necessity. For me, the first time was a period marked by incredible woe that was screaming to be transmuted into some creative act of transcendence. Later, poetry became the playhouse for my soul, and joy and beauty became the urgent message. In the spirit of Hafiz and Rumi, Secrets from a Four Leaf Clover challenges one to replace ordinary perspectives with the extraordinary. The name of this collection was inspired by a real conversation that I had with a four-leaf clover, in which a vital secret for my life's unfolding was revealed. This book invites you to open yourself to the world where magic is possible.
