Before I Leave: Selected Poems and Poetic Prose

Tying together the recurring elements of a decade in reflection, this debut book from acclaimed poet M.H. Freeman — Before I Leave — elucidates the cyclicism of life while depositing a positive outlook in stressed and sullen hearts.

Framed by four topical pillars — loneliness, adoration, depression, and philosophy — these poems, the majority having been composed between August 2012 and August 2013, exhibit many facets of life we all experience but find difficult to speak.
