Ice Cream Melts 1st edition

Lives, decisions and consequences are on full display in Ice Cream Melts, a collection of modern poetry by Nnamdi Osuagwu. With invigorating candor, Osuagwu dissects the contemporary lives of everyday people, using relationships as a way to touch and communicate personally with each reader. Written from the inner voice of a mother, father, son, daughter, lover, professional, or prisoner, Ice Cream Melts allows the reader to feel what others feel and to realize we are not alone in our experiences today. Reflecting the collection s title, Ice Cream Melts is about life and what happens throughout it. It is about the decisions we want to change or the circumstances we didn t ask to be born into. The collection does more than just stating the obvious pitfalls of present-day living. It shows there is inspiration to be found in the acceptance that we are only human and that, in the end, ice cream does melt. Video footage of people sharing their personal Ice Cream Melts stories can be found at the IceCreamMelts.com website. The videos represent an interactive movement spawned by the poetry collection and related Ice Cream Melts (ICM) projects.
