Eyes of Many Lives is a compilation of breath taking introverted poetic creations. Alonso Rodriguez, aka **9**Lives**, takes you down different paths of life with his exciting poetry. He explores the complexities of the mind bringing to life the pains of insanity, survival, winning and losing. His poetic pieces almost seem as though created with a scientific, experimental mindset. He takes you inside the world of extreme solitude warped in confusing ideology. Did he really have multiple visits and conversations with the devil? Did he really infiltrate the gates of hell only to report to the masses the visions from that infiltration? Displayed in these pages are the sharp and vivid tales about the struggles of the poor and reality of street life. From 'For the Record" to 'Original Hustler", this poet gives you the ultimate taste of the streets and survival. There are many elements of surprise in this powerful work that will captivate his fans and create a universal following. A remarkably new and talented Latino voice has emerged to share his art with the world. Alonso also opens the door to other poets in a bonus chapter filled with their creative works.
