Roses and Wine: I've Had Better

By Answer-Pray Alcius

When Answer-Pray Alcius writes poetry, his goal is simple: to pen each line with the reader in mind, no matter what his subject or theme. Roses and Wine: I've Had Better includes forty-eight of Alcius's inspirational, emotionally charged poems. Understanding that life is an intricate weave of different views and complex relationships, Alcius refuses to be pinned down to a single theme. Instead, his evocative free verse poems cover topics as wide ranging as love, religion, courage, humility, heartbreak, and heroism. Intertwined among his collage of poems are multiple drawings, bringing each poem to life while providing a foundation for understanding each verse. Included are twenty-four inspirational quotes, all written by Alcius and designed to bring insight into specific aspects of life. Alcius's poems build relationships with readers. To read his work is to realize you're not alone. Through artwork and the written word, Alcius reminds us of the myriad emotional experiences binding humanity together and bringing us all closer to understanding and acceptance. From his pen to your hands, he offers life, in all its wondrous complexity.
