A Mother's Supposed Love, first released in 2004 in print, is now available for the first time as an e-book. The poems of the collection are small pieces of a shattered puzzle that are slowly put together in the end as a young boy suffers through a childhood missing a mother's love and affection. The missing elements from that childhood form the child throughout his life and as he grows he learns through his father and others to accept love and how to express his own feelings and love. The trip from being unwanted, to being loved, then to expressing his own inner feelings is hard to travel, but in the end there is hope.

"A Mother's Supposed Love" causes you to ponder about your past so that you can live better in the present. Nora Weston, Author and Poet

There are more questions than answers in this starkly brutal coming-of-age. In the final analysis, Poe holds back nothing, and through that willingness, gains all; transcending, and transmuting pain into poetry. Freada Dillion, Author, Poet and Poetry Editor

Sometimes raw, occasionally explicit and disturbing, but always compelling, Poe's words strike home with the force of a child's worst nightmare. But it is a nightmare threaded with hope... Marlicia Fernandez, Author and Poet
