A Slip Of The Tongue
A Slip Of The Tongue is a book of poetry written during a three year period (2004-2007). The author, AJ Lewis, relates his life, his thoughts and his past memories through written words at the seat of an old silk ribbon typewriter in the Arizona desert. As you read this book you will experience a world take shape as AJ Lewis addresses spirituality, religion, family and relationships. These poems were written to express an interpretation of the current state of affairs in our society, and AJ Lewis brings forth his past memories in an effort to share his opinions. There is only honesty in this book, and like the title suggests, nothing is held back here.
