The late and great British journalist and writer G.K. Chesterton once said “We are perishing for want of wonder, not for want of wonders.” We have remarkable technological advances, but what has all the progress done for us? We are jaded, and complacent. We have lost our ability to marvel, to wonder. And sadly, our ability to wonder and take joy has faded with all the pressures of life. Poetry is an act of rebellion against a complacent life. Reading poetry makes us aware of the places worn thin between heaven and earth. It gives us a sense of transcendence and humanity, beauty and tragedy, joy and sorrow. It is my hope that you will laugh, cry, think, be disturbed, elated, and ultimately, inspired to be creative yourself by reading this. Hopefully you may look beyond the mundanities of your life and find the divine through the power of the creative written word. And when you look up at the stars, you will marvel with ceaseless joy.
Fatherhood, Despotism, Mystical Mutterings, and Other Unrelated Poems, Aphorisms, and a Short Story is the first volume in a five part series. It is a book of poetry and creative writing. It is the outpouring of my personal journey to rekindle my creative fires. Why do my creative fires need rekindling? Let me explain. It is my hope for you (by reading this and subsequent volumes to follow) will laugh, cry, think, be disturbed, elated, and ultimately, inspired to be creative yourself. And by reading this, you will hopefully rediscover those places worn thin by heaven and earth; that you may look beyond the mundanities of your life and find the divine through the power of the written word. And when you look up at the stars, you will marvel with ceaseless joy. Join my journey as I endeavor to write 1000 pieces before I turn 30. I am currently 28, which leaves me less than two years to complete the task. So follow my creative journey as tries to complete the challenge in the next two years.
