Unnailing The Coffin Of My Life

Founders Edition

By Apollo Vulcan Mars

Overview

This has been a passion project, as well as my legacy. Not completing this project would mean I would have to open a third-party store to sell these books to those who really enjoy my poems. I feel that this takes away the personal aspect and connection to those that would back the campaign and show support for this project. This is one of the most important endeavors in my life, after serving my country. Having poured my heart and soul into sharing my journey in life with the world.

A Written Work from the Heart I can sum up this book in three words: passion, truth, and vulnerability. Apollo pours his heart into these pages as he gives you a glimpse into his life, love, and very real pain. Many poems brought me to tears. I found myself cheering for him as I read others. The candor and fearless expression within these pages is quite refreshing in this day and time. He has truly unnailed the coffin of his life with this book. I highly recommend this book to those who want a no holds barred, poetic look into the life of an army veteran, father, husband, writer, and friend. 5 stars!!! Read more
