    Author

    Antoni Chuck

    Born in the inner city of Kingston, Jamaica. Antoni moved along with his father to Toronto, Ontario Canada in 2000. After the death of his step mother in 2004, Antoni began using writing as a way to express his inner most thoughts. By the summer of 2006 Antoni had learned how to master his abilities and began to write poems not only based on his life but the life of others around him. Antoni`s writing is heavily inspired by music such as reggae (Bob Marley), R&B (Boyz II Men, Babyface, All 4 One, Michael Jackson), Hip Hop (Tupac) and current world/community/personal issues.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      First off, I would like to thank God for blessing me with the gift of writing. I would also like to thank all who made the publishing of my first collection of poetry possible, either through reviewing, inspiring, helping with my development as a writer, or directly or indirectly providing support and opportunities. Thank you to Lloyd Chuck, iUniverse, Keshia Mamdeen, the Haniff family, Mr. Duffin, Mrs. Mackenzie, Mr. T. Jones, Mr. Watts, Miss Inniss, Mr. Gaskin, Grandma, Grandpa, Monahki Entertainment, and the rest of my family and friends. Last but not least, I would like to thank you, the reader, for giving me a chance by purchasing my first book. I really and truly appreciate it, and I hope this is the first of many. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it.
