Riding Gravity” is a collection of poems that delves into the themes of life’s ups and downs, exploring personal struggles, growth, and the emotions tied to love, loss, and transformation. The title poem, inspired by a bet made during a trip to Maui, captures the metaphor of navigating life while dealing with gravity—both literal and emotional. The book includes poems on various aspects of life, including love, family, and the passage of time, as well as the healing power of music and the impact of places on personal journeys. The collection is deeply personal and is infused with the author’s experiences, especially his time spent in West Philadelphia and Maui.
