Gilkey's Book of Poems

By Keith A. Gilkey

My book tells diff erent parts of things that occurred during my life. Some things are interpreted, and other things are just thoughts. I guess you would say I have a variety of diff erent situations, which would range from fi ction, nonfi ction, fantasies that I daydream about or imagine could happen one day. I use diff erent things in my poems to describe how my life is and was; some are happy, and some are unhappy. Th ere are several parts of my poems that in some ways describes my feelings of when my mother past away. I also included my experiences of when I lived in the projects. I could have been more graphic about the things I came across with some of the people I saw and the things they have done, but that might have been a little too much to handle. I also described one of my poems as a tiny monster with claws, beneath the fl oors. Th at creature was a large rat, and that was a true story. My family and I had no choice but to live in that house due to fi nancial problems, because it possibly would have hurt my career if I left. Well, that's a short version of my poetry.
