We are all faced with situations in our life that shatters and upsets our core beliefs.

It is a common occurrence in the human condition and Kenneth Radu writes about those situations in a terrific manner in his collection of short stories called Earthbound.

They are brilliant flashes of thoughts and recollections that come to us from time to time when certain situation occur. Kenneth Radu has collected some of those memories and thoughts in his collection of poetry called Romanian Suite which is a brilliant read. http://wp.me/p46Ewj-yP
