bestowing incentives
all I could be
in a world of global recession
andI miss it

"LISTEN" takes you deep into the conscientious of the socially, economically, and culturally challenged. Confronting the communal stigmas of not fitting in, LISTEN is a first person journey into the breaking hearts and poignant lives of those who fail to flourish in today’s society. In this collection the author compels us to look at the abused and enslaved. The, hopeless and helpless, living in tent cities and sleeping in cars; their stories scrolled ticker tape style across the bottom of our screens; consciously unseen – subconsciously unheard. The author forces us to acknowledge and at times concede to the darkness that masks their faces.
Fearing the infinite in ourselves, Listen engulfs us in screams that get louder, emotions that clash with understanding, and a whirlwind of confrontations, economics, and dogmas that marginalize a society of real people, attempting to live real lives. Rich in enlightenment, yet dark and enticing, Listen is for real people living real lives. Although the authors work trends toward academia, LISTEN is an awakening that shines a light on the portico that separates those who think they “have” from those who are sure they “have not”
"ONE DAY; Life, Love and Controversy in Middle America". Using the richest of language, ONE DAY highlights the complexities facing mankind today. Writing in first person the author opens avenu"es of understanding by becoming the voice of the people behind the story. From the chains of slavery to the horrors of abuse, from the terror of the battlefield, to the breakdown of the family, a whirlwind of emotions rise and fall as the author embodies an excruciating honesty in a most unexpected format.
