From the Author

Self publishing my first book was a true labor of love. I have been writing poetry since my teenage years and always dreamed of releasing my work to a larger audience. Fewer Versions Of Myself is a love letter to myself and anyone else who has ever had to perform to survive.

Fewer Versions of Myself

A COllection of Poems

by Lonnie Woods III

Book Description

Over the years I created multiple versions of myself to compensate for my lack of self acceptance.  I perfected my ability to transition from one version to the next based on the circumstances. Eventually, I grew tired of performing and separated who I truly am from who I was pretending to be. The result is Fewer Versions of Myself, a collection of 20 original poems that narrate the stages that I endured on my journey towards becoming the most authentic version of Lonnie.
