About this ebook
Deciding Destiny is a statement about the life of a poet, from the view of a poet. It is a work that sets forth a display of the poet's works, as well as the poet's outlooks upon many subjects. Alex Ness has written a book meant to express a statement: "I am a Poet!" His words in this book do their best to back that up.
