The Poet's journey is one wrought with an incalculable number of experiences that are positive and negative, literal and figurative; that any writer will walk through a period of emotional chaos or turmoil in their personal life, mask it under the illusory guise of metaphor and express it in the poetic form.AMERICAN CARNAGE is the metaphor of that journey; the experience of reality and the way it drives The Poet into the parallel world of imagination, where reality seems like the illusion and imagination takes the place of reality.The Poet grapples with the destabilizing politics of society, in a seemingly destabilized way, before seeking refuge in the confines of their own mind where they discover the genius of imagination and all the discoveries that arise out of it; including the origin of inspiration and the path paved beyond it.The Collection Of Poetry as written in this Third Copyrighted Edition (The First Self-Published) is the primer before our next scene: the first to project the Universe, built out of nothing and how it came to being, in the time throughout the journey when The Poet broke from the cliché to bring a graceful order to all its beautiful chaos.
