This book of free verse explores my discovery that equity and equality of masculine and feminine energy traits and going with the flow in life, is uplifting, particularly for those with a rebel heart. It describes how I'm living my best life; the fresh new attitude I have about life's challenges, be they to do with fears, love, loss, or whatever else.
What is the role of language in expressing what artistic inspiration and the creative state? Can human speech even allude with limited letters, imprisoned words and narrow sentences to the insanity of the artist whilst they reside in a space outside of place and in a moment distant from time?This book contains poetic reflections in the form of prose, all revolving around the madness of art as it overthrows the reason of the artist. These short dances include movements thatpay homage to the tribes of all art forms, including writing, painting, sculpting and music.
ما هو دور اللغة في التعبير عن الإلهام الفني والحالة الإبداعية؟ هل تستطيع الأنفاس أن تومئ بحروف محدودة وكلمات مسجونة وجمل ضيقة عن جنون الفنان وهو يعيش في مكانة خارجة عن حيز المكان ووقت قد تحرر من مخالب الدهر؟يحتوي هذا الكتاب على تأملات شعرية في صورة نثر، انبجست بكليتها من هوجاء الفن وهو يطيح بعقل الفنان. وتشمل هذه الرقصات القصيرة على قطع تشيد بقبائل جميع الفنون من كتابة ورسم ونحت وعزف على الأوتار.بدأت بكتابة هذه التأملات في نهاية عام ٢٠١٨. كانت بداية هذه الرحلة استماع ونهايتها إنصات ولا غير. قد يأتي الإلهام مرة على صورة فكرة ومرة في فكرة على صورة الصوت وتناغم الحروف. فما على الكاتب حينئذ سوى نقل المعنى في أجساد حتى نهاية المطاف.

"Nothing grows on Dansbury Plot-almost everybody simply calls it The Plot-where it sits on the very edge of the Township of Bridge Crossing, across a really wide street from the Little League fields. It's a square of land about the size of two town blocks and it is barren and dry and dead-looking. Everything for miles around our town is green and flowery pretty much all year long, even during the kinda mild winters we have here in Bridge Crossing, Delaware, but not Dansbury Plot. I mean even with the little bit of snow we get, there'll be winter flowers poking up all over. And talking about the snow-there's never been any snow on The Plot. Not ever. Snow on everywhere else but not there. It just looks dead and brown when everywhere else has a nice little cover of snow. What does that tell you about Dansbury Plot, huh? "A lot of scary stories have been told about The Plot and stuff that's happened. Little kids call it 'Bury-the-Dead-Dan's Plot' but won't go anywhere near it, not ever. Even animals keep clear of it. Hell, if a mouse was being chased by a cat, it would go clean out of its way and take a chance on getting caught rather than run across Dansbury Plot. "And speaking of cats, dogs too, they don't go anywhere near that place. If dogs are outside their house they'll stand a good distance away from The Plot, just shivering and sometimes they'll raise their heads and howl a kind of unearthly howl at nothing anyone can see. Cats, jeez, well, cats get their backs up and hiss if they're even facing in that direction. And you never ever see birds flying around there neither. Me, I hate the fact that that my bedroom window faces towards Bury-the-Dead-Dan's Plot almost as much as I hate Billy Sarlewski. Billy almost got me to step foot on that cursed plot of land. No fooling, he really almost did." --Twelve-year-old Christopher Hopper

I had not thought much about doing another book. Nothing against a new book, I just hadn't thought about it. After my oldest and dearest friend died, though, I took stock, as one will do when he reconciles with loss. Among the stock was a cache of many more published poems that I had remembered writing. Because many of the poems are elegiac, much of the book is a view from below, but that is to be regarded, I hope, as uplifting-any direction one takes being a direction. And taken. Besides, the water is clear.
