About the Book
By Cruical & Artie
Just as the rays of the sun join together in dance, the heart clings to poetry to survive.
In Caring Desires, Scorned Egos, authors Crucial and Artie usher readers through the veins of an embattled nation wrought with social injustice, brokenness, romantic disenchantment and the everyday adversities we encounter in between. Intriguing prose such as “Juneteenth” deliver the sometimes painful challenges of co-existing, while “My Sun” is a soul-stirring serenade nodding to life’s simple pleasures, leaving readers thirsting for more of the spirit-reviving passages uplifting their souls.
The feast of prose simmering between the pages of Caring Desires, Scorned Egos is a therapeutic synergy of culture, artistry and love. Both Crucial and Artie victoriously waded through the fire, and have surrendered their hearts through their pens to create a striking collection of unforgettable poetry overflowing with hope, healing and restoration.

A Compilation of Thoughts
No child ever imagines themselves being put in a grown man’s place with only the grimy walls of a prison cell to love them for the next forty years. But for one young teen, the nightmare of the cell became his bitter reality.
In A Compilation of Thoughts, author Kurtis Graves details his harrowing journey from carefree 16-year-old boy to indefinite imprisonment as a convicted adult. Suddenly abandoned in the unforgiving, unrelenting and unloving confinement of a world he was never intended to be a part of, Kurtis intricately breaks down the simple conversations he had with his conscience to understand and overcome his burdens, while helping others facing bleak circumstances find their way out, too.

Fresh Courage to Believe
Fresh courage to believe is a note of encouragement…to those short on hope, struggling to see beyond a painful past or difficult circumstance, or in need of a renewed vision for their lives…those who have fearlessly summoned the courage and strength to take bold steps in the direction of their destiny, despite looming uncertainty…creatives waiting patiently to receive that second wind that will breathe new life through artistic inspiration…anyone trying to find their footing as they transition to a new phase of life, or someone just having a bad day. In one way or another, each piece seeks to remind readers how their unique experiences can serve to strengthen their resolve; how those experiences collectively represent the sum total of their life’s journey, reflecting key elements of God’s ultimate plan for their lives.
