This is a collection of poems by Jeffrey V. Perry, who has been writing since the tender age of seven. As a gifted young writer, he was betrayed by his own meager circumstances and the misfortunes of being young and naive. Now that he is older, he has begun to produce recent works to help complete him and his true calling. A summon is Strumpet, but also, a warning signal that must be heeded. In our times there are too many reasons for us not to stop and take notice. Too much is written on our walls and there is too much living in our streets, not to question our own lives. It is so much easier for us to just look the other way or to go for self-satisfaction than to do what we know to be best. Since we do not change, nothing gets better. In the end, we are responsible for ourselves, and we are the ones who are going to have to pay one way or another. While our truths are relative, there is an ultimate truth somewhere in this world; found only if we are brave enough to accept it.
