Reconstruction Ivan Francis Wilbanks

"RECONSTRUCTION" is a story told through poems about the failings of life, the pain of failure, and the journey to rebuild confidence, self-assurance, regaining mental health. These poems, drafted from July 2018 to June 2019 are full outline of the author's life as he negotiated changes in career, relationship status, and several moves between Atlanta, GA and his Native Philadelphia. This work seeks to inspire those who were convinced that they could not do it, and empower those who felt like they have lost everything have to start over again.
