Ladies

but we persevered through times of doubt. And now, we officially tear through
the caution tape and invite you all to read this book! Exclusively on Lulu.com
for the time being, End of the Road is available as an eBook now for $2.99 and
in soon will be available in print for $15.50 with a 5% discount, made possible

your hearts to support positivity and poetry. Please make sure this art form
continues to thrive.

End of the Road (First Caution Tape Poetry Project)
Greetings everyone! We hope you all are enjoying the new year's first fourteen days! We are excited to tell you all about our first project, a chapbook of poetry called End of the Road, by poet Charles Banks, Jr. writing as CURIOSITY.
END OF THE ROAD SYNOPSIS:
END OF THE ROAD SYNOPSIS:
The end of the
road is thrust upon CURIOSITY, and he
is forced to accept the reality that life must go on without his beloved. A
poetic tale of obsession, yearning, and harbored grudges, Curiosity dusts off
his stagnant pen to brush his canvas with gentle yet angry strokes of ink to
reflect upon his beloved treading new waters. Written by Poet Charles Banks,
Jr., this is his first published chapbook of poetry. This chapbook of poems is
presented by Caution Tape Poetry! “Step beyond the caution tape at your own
peril! Just remember, you were forewarned.”
More information on Charles Banks, Jr. online on Facebook.com now!
