"Lucid Collections" summarizes individuals the author encountered while supervising them on Probation or Parole or those in trouble under his supervision as an NCO in the US Military. The collection paints a vivid picture of people struggling with addiction to alcohol and drugs, living on the fringes of society, and facing economic hardships. It captures their emotional states during critical moments in their lives, all wrapped in the author's dream sequences to protect their identities.

The poems span over 20 years of supervision and instruction to law enforcement and military personnel, and many poems reflect the dedicated employees who remained committed to their professions despite society's reluctance to provide them with a living wage. This collection can be seen as a reporter's narrative on the emotions of people at the lowest points of their addiction or financial crisis, grappling with credit card misuse and other forms of debt in a land of plenty, living paycheck to paycheck, or facing homelessness due to beliefs shaped by media from an early age.

The author advocates for solutions beyond government intervention, emphasizing the importance of domestic production that offers a living wage. This approach aims to help individuals on the fringes reform their lives, families, neighborhoods, and, ultimately, the nation. All net proceeds from "Lucid Collections" are dedicated to the American Legion Post 84 Homeless & Disstressed Veterans Fund, supporting those who have served the country and now need assistance.
