dark collection of poetry taking snapshots of modern life and its underbelly. take a peek at the couple failing to communicate over a cup of tea. look on at the lost of innocence or the aftermath of a death. and pause awhile considering the cycle or life. or just simply take a moment to enjoy the unsettling silence.
‘The writer takes us to deep places inside his soul and heart…’
Nick Gerard, author of “Lyrics without Music.”
“..this collection of poems is not a light meal. Rather it is a heavy seven course helping
of the darker side of reality. Within lies the problems of adoption, suicide, prostitution and abduction. But these are
balanced by the more lighter elements concerned with drinking, drinking & a conversation over
two poems featured in Tuck Magazine (October 14, 2013) taken from my poetry collection: Screaming In A Vacuum Jar.
