Poetry is one of the few art forms
that can both defend and provide a voice
to the complicated emotions of mankind.

Although all the poetry in this book is from Poeter’s personal experiences and joy and pain, billions of hearts have ached just like his. This poetry collection allows you to come back to these compositions to explain why you are down, or why you hurt so deep, or why you love so hard, how being understood is so important.

About the Author:

Along with being a poet, Poeter is also a songwriter and rap artist, known by the stage moniker J.P. Tha Pompafillian. For about as long as he’s been writing poetry, since the age of ten, he’s been writing songs as well. He wrote his first song at the age of twelve. One of his big brothers and he has a song, only on YouTube, that was twenty years in the making, called “Represent” by J.P. Tha Pompafillian and ZTG. Poeter also represents one half of the rap group CS TRIBE 319 with his cousin, Jamar Stubbs. They write and perform Christian-based rap music. With music, he tries to tell the story that the beat can’t put into words and makes an effort to write the truth and not just anything to complement the instruments.
Poeter enjoys hiking and being in the midst of the authentic outside. Nature is absolutely beautiful, and there is nothing like hearing the earth moan beneath your shoes and seeing the unpredictable twist and turns of nature and its God-made scenery. In 2011, he joined the United States Army and served three years. Most of the work he does today is in security. The art of poetry will always be a stand-alone remedy for the soul. Joshua officially joins the ranks of authors who, with poetry, enchant in the dark and deliver an anesthetic to the hurting and escape to the trapped.
