| Introduction | Writer & poet. Serious Ink Press has just published my first book, entitled: “Clocks Stopped at a Strange and Savage Hour”. Here you will find poems dark and delirious from an underground American seeking solace and survival through his dream poems and visions. From my bio at the back of the book: “A decade-long series of unbelievable misfortunes, catastrophes, endless poisonings and toxic deliriums, hospitalizations, chronic illnesses, curses, deaths of loved ones, persecutions, betrayals, bankruptcies, poverty, homelessness, lost wanderings, several near-death experiences, entanglements with madmen and madwomen, miraculous healings and cures, spiritual rebirths, and wondrous visions and revelations, all combined to awaken in me the mad impulse to become a poet and writer, which was my true calling all along. This book was written in the belly of the beast, during some of my darkest and most desperate & delerious days—days that don’t appear on any calendar!” |
