I Am the Spear: An Anthology of the Early Works of Edgar Alexander Lara

Front Cover
Xlibris Corporation, May 29, 2012 - Poetry - 86 pages
This volume is a collection of writings from a period of over seven years. Although most contain rhyme and are meant to be poetry, some are just thoughts. Written down in the time that my mind composed them, unfiltered and unedited. You may not relate to all, since the youthful mind is an ever-changing landscape. There is not a specific way to read this text, you may start anywhere within these pages and end anyplace you like.
