A classic tale of boy meets girl, falls in love with girl, and has his heart broken by said girl.Based on true events from the author's life, Racquets & Rocks tells the story of the on-again, off-again romance between Ben and Scarlette, two college kids who love each other but can't seem to make it work. After Ben bumps into Scarlette months after their last encounter, their feelings swell up once again, but will it last this time?Not at all a romance, this novella is a witty look at the effect a broken heart can have on a man told in the first person. A linear story with many asides, cultural references, and back story from Ben, the main character; Racquets & Rocks reads like a story being told from one good friend to another.

Love is, too often, fleeting. Contained within this volume are 60 poems dedicated to the raw experiences of lost love and the bitter aftermath. This loss of love is inevitably accompanied by the feeling that nothing is worthwhile, due to the fact that nothing lasts: in the end, everything will end. And if there's no one to share this life with, what is it but a big empty?A must for any poetry lover, these mostly free-form poems are presented as they came from the poet's hand, with no editing of any kind.
