Praise For The First Book 
"I bought the "I Wrote This For You" book in actual, real-life paperback and it soothes my soul. Buy it if you can." 
- Laura Prudom (News Editor for Variety) 

"One of the most beautiful things I have ever read. Ever." 
- BT (Grammy Nominated Composer and Technologist) 

"This is me. This is you. This is us. This is every human being, past and present, old and young, of every ethnicity, race and faith. Our every complex human emotion translated into words. Someone knows and someone understands. This is the essence of what it truly means to be human." 
- Ethar El-Katatney (CNN African Journalist Of The Year, award-winning journalist, blogger and author) 

"The magnificent beauty of I Wrote This For You is quite simply this: the book is elegantly incomplete without you. No one else in the world can read it the way you do. No one." 
- Matthew E. May (The Elegant Solution, In Pursuit Of Elegance, The Shibumi Strategy)  The follow-up to the #1 bestseller, I Wrote This For You: Just The Words presents twice the number of entries with over 400 works from the internationally acclaimed poetry and photography project; including several new and never before seen poems. While focussing on the words from the project, new photography launches each section which portray everyone's journey through the world: Love Found, Being In Love, Love Lost, Hope, Despair, Living and Dying.
