This book of miscellaneous poems centers on persons who exist beyond the Bell Curve, and unique and unusual events that magnify every day reality . To quote John Stuart Mill:

"Eccentricity has always abounded when and where strength of character has abounded; and the amount of eccentricity in a society has generally been proportional to the amount of genius, mental vigor, and moral courage which it contained."

They highlight the street people, orphans, outcasts, iconoclasts, refugees,, children who have been overlooked, misunderstood abused and scuttled to one side, but whose insights into polite society define it, the eccentrics who hold up a mirror to hypocrisy and falsehood.
