RICHARD PEREZ is son of immigrants to the land of dreams and prosperity, as he was being brought up to know order and structure. The tons of work of this young poet and artist jumps from the understanding of the human mind to the deep waves of emotion that the human soul carries. Through his experiences in the military, he brings a collection of poems previously published and a set of new, never-before-read that entices you beyond a simple verse and prose. In his collection, If Only Time Were Enough, comes a backdrop of twist and turns in which the pages scream pure emotion.
