There are many elements of fire: the Phoenix, which represents rebirth and immortality, the Sun, which provides light and heat and Volcanoes. Volcanoes erupt with hot magma that needs to escape from below the earth's surface. The heat is unbearable yet lava is beautiful to view. Many people think of words to escape situations they know they must deal with. There is no form of escapism compared to the eruption of a Volcano. "Volcano", a collection of poetry, quotes, songs and images melt and mold your mind into shapes unimaginable. It includes words and rhythms created from elements of fiery thoughts and life experiences featuring over seven different poetry styles. The images in the book are the brilliant result of collaboration with various talented artists.
