Everything Tones is a collection of eighty-five poems. In its infancy, it was meant to be four hundred poems. Upon realizing that was almost impossible for one poetry collection, the project was forgotten. But not for long, as James Lyte saved his own day, finding seventeen words to craft into variations. Each section is a comprised of a title and word, wherein that word functions somewhere in the poems of that section. There are five poems per section of varying lengths, but somewhere in the ballpark of five lines to two pages of poetry.
