Potential Matthew Salzman

Potential: Poems of Self-Mastery and More is the author's exploration of the vast and lofty arena of the human and personal potential. The book is the journey of the poet from his discovery of his gift, to the refining that took place over twelve years of self discovery, wading through the swamps of self sabotage and self doubt, before reaching the land of self-mastery and the defining of his life's purpose. The book urges us to question everything, from the social inequality we see in America to the limits that we place on ourselves to be part of a system that is essentially broken. The poet trudges through his own personal darkness, as well as the collective shadow, to bring forth a message of hope and the infinite nature of our potential.
