Love - Exotic or Toxic is a collection of pros and poetry written in Carney's signature way. His unique use of verse draws the reader into his writings and makes one reflect on current and past lovers. This book speaks of every relationship known to man. From first loves to last loves, Carney tells the tale. This story tells of love from vast perspectives ranging from loving self to loving others, from domestic violence to contemplations of suicide. Carney says, "As we all continue to live, we will all continue to love. As the song said, 'Ain t nothing like the real thang.' When you get introduced to love and meet her for the first time, be careful. When love gives you drama and nights of tears, appreciate her. And when love is gone, don t be afraid to embrace her again."
