Rochester, NY Author Publishes New Book

Simply Imagine: A Lifetime of Poetry, a new book by Matthew Primous, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Matthew S. Primous attributes his success to inspiration from 128 unsung heroes. These are people in his life who inspired him to conquer his dreams and gave him words of encouragement. These people helped him through his most difficult times, and there is no other way of expressing gratitude but to dub them his "unsung heroes." Each poem represents an unsung hero.

Simply Imagine: A Lifetime of Poetry was made to inspire both men and women to see creativity and the natural beauty of words about the world, which is a perplexing place. There are numerous categories in which these poems can be placed, such as love, passion, war, peace, life, mystery and more. The poems cause individuals to imagine the world from a poetic point of view, and each one artistically creates a different dream of the world.
