Romantically Erotic, Deadly Spiritual Society" is a poetry collection covering diverse aspects of life. It was first self-published in a limited edition in 2001 under the titel"Romantically Erotic, Deadly Religious".The title already reveals to the reader that this book will take him or her on a very emotional journey of romantic highs and lows as well as spiritual and societal awareness.
