My name is Jeff Alan Meints and I have been writing poetry for over twenty years, since the seventh grade at Hidden Valley Middle School in Escondido, California. This is the second book in the series titled, Youthful Trips, which are many pieces of colorful artwork and poems written during the years of 1994 to 1999 and I hope you enjoy the trip through my teenage years. (This book is priced in relation to the ink needed to print this color book) Please check out the other poem books in the series, Childlike Ways (1991 - 1996), Enter Adulthood (1997 - 2001), and The Road Less Traveled (2000- 2016).
