A look into S Gary Sutherland's life...

Step into the mind of a young man that has spent his life proving the "experts" wrong. From his very difficult birth through growing up as a "special" child, diagnosed as Aphasic and Dyslexic at 3 years of age. Not being able to speak until the age of 5 years because his speech center had been damaged from birth, Gary has defied every rule or guideline that said he would never be "normal." At the age of 19 yrs, he finally was able to express all that had been "bottled up" in his mind and heart.

This first collection of Gary's poetry is spiral bound with a full color cover. The poetry is divided into themes and ranges from lighthearted through gut-wrenching thoughts and feelings that sometimes overwhelmed him. Gary wants to share his poetry with the world. For those that little is expected of, he shows that he expected a lot of himself and set about to prove his worth.

This is a great book for those of you that are looking for inspiration; be it for yourself or someone else. To some, his struggles with life and love will strike a like cord within themselves. For those "looking for love", travel with Gary on his journey.

From the lighthearted "A TREE, That May Be Me????" to the sweet and loving tribute to my grandmother "She Loved Her 3 Girls:, I invite you to peruse the many colors of my mind. Some of my poetry may shock or disturb, but know that it speaks of my hopes, fears, despair and love at that moment of its birth through my pen.
