Devin's Ink: The Six Pieces of Seven

by Devin Gossett

Overview

For the people, I've compiled a collection of poetry inspired by the muse in the moment across my life. Lyrics of love, light and life across My Family Cries and ties, spanning from childhood to adulthood. To college years when I was untamed and unfettered captured in Urban Letters. Beginning with reflections through a view from above through tales and lessons learned from Lost Love.

About the Author

Devin has been writing poetry for over 20 years personally, as this is his first book publication. Devin has performed in multiple open mic & writing competitions from South Carolina to Virginia since the late 90's. Before that, it was the passing of his father at age ten that sparked his spirit for writing poetry, as this was his outlet for coping with his grief. Devin has also published individual poems, like "Only You" through the National Poetry Association in 1991. In his private life Devin, is a proud father and the youngest child of five siblings. Within here lies, the written emotions across his journey of life.
