Gregory Banks often uses both poetry and prose to delve into such wide-reaching topics as depression, domestic violence, suicide, and more. In several pieces, he explores the various facets of Alzheimer's Disease, showing not only how it affects the individuals caring for those with the disease, but also his vision of the inner hell sufferers of the disease must go through. In the poem, "Surreality," he expresses how he felt on September 11, 2001 as the sky seemed to fall, while in the short prose piece, "The Calling," he gives a brief but powerful glimpse into the difficult moments while awaiting the death of a loved one. With stories both sad and funny, thought-provoking and lighthearted, this collection won't change your life. But hopefully, it will leave you appreciating it a little bit more.
