Abstract
Momentum and Back is a creative autobiographical work that is drawn from both key points of the writer's life and personal introspection. The story is told through narrative lyrical poetry with additional information in the introduction. The work is organized in chronological order of subject matter and is divided as such: Early Years; The Men - Interiors; The Marriage; The Men - Evocations; Dreams, Observations and Introspection; and Final Thoughts. The categories denote subject matter that deals with early life events, touches down through childhood, adolescence and key adult topics. It closes with spiritual questions and personal insights. As an auto-biographical piece, presenting the material in a period/time ordered sequence is done to allow the reader to come away with a more complete and chronologically ordered picture of the life and the lessons learned.
