  Pieces of a Broken Mind is the raw and honest portrayal of Richard Bryght, a struggling Seattle writer with dreams too big for a single lifetime—navigating love, loss, and the pursuit of artistic fulfillment. Haunted by a past relationship and his mother's mental decline into Alzheimer's. Then, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity arises—to turn his self-published book into a movie. Richard embarks on a transformative leap of faith, with his best friend Danny by his side and his mother's blessings, leaving Seattle behind to move to the City of Angels and chase his dreams.This gritty story takes the reader on a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of fame and the creative process in a new city filled with distractions. Through Richard's eyes, we experience a broken and beautiful world where contradictions and paradoxes intertwine. As Richard struggles with the pressures of success and battles his inner demons—he finds himself lost in a sea of self-destruction, searching for solace in drugs and casual relationships with adult film stars.Beyond being a captivating story, Pieces of a Broken Mind serves as a love letter to Los Angeles, the pursuit of dreams, the written word, and the resilience to never give up. It's a reminder that no matter how broken we may feel, we all have the ability to pick up the pieces and create something beautiful.

  Mist to Shadow To Light - Three...

  This book is a heartfelt mixture of spiritual and encouraging poetry. Some of the poems draw from my own life experiences, spanning from childhood to adulthood. I have poured warmth, love, and care into these words, with the intention of reaching people who may be struggling with depression or hardship. My hope is to point them toward their Creator, offering comfort and understanding. I want to remind readers that everyday disappointments are a natural part of life, but we will get through them and be just fine. 
  One of the poems, “What Is The Fabric of Your Love,” explores the love between a man and a woman, highlighting the deep emotional connections we as humans need in order to feel whole. Throughout the collection, I offer analogies and perspectives that encourage us to think about the world around us and our shared humanity. It is a call to show compassion and belief in humanity—something we often forget in the busyness of our lives. My poems aim to touch the psyche, shedding light on the things we are too busy to think about, but that we all experience in one way or another. I strive to keep the work relatable and touching, offering a message that can bring a smile to your face or inspire you to bless someone else with kindness. 
  One poem that is very dear to me is a tribute to Mr. Tyre Nichols, who tragically lost his life at the hands of police. The poem, titled “My Skateboard and Me,” is a heartfelt expression of grief and reflection. Another poem, “We All Begin and End with Each Other,” calls for greater unity and connection across ethnic lines, encouraging us to reach out to our neighbors, no matter their background. In “Who’s on Third,” I reflect on the time when we all must leave this earth, while “Banana Fritters Makes Me Smile” takes the reader on a nostalgic journey back to childhood memories.

A major figure in the modernist movement, with some affinities to Yeats, Rilke had a profound influence on other 20th century poets such as Pasternak and Akhmatova. He is a master of vivid and breathtakingly original imagery in which difficult ideas are made directly apprehensible to the reader and new worlds of experience are opened up.

  The Ballad Of The White Horse -...

  "The Last Great Epic Poem in the English Language"- Dale Ahlquist"The ending is absurd. The brilliant smash and glitter of the words and phrases (when they come off, and are not mere loud colours) cannot disguise the fact that G. K. C. knew nothing whatever about the 'North', heathen or Christian."- JRR TolkienThe tale of King Alfred, the Christian king who in 878AD battled a Viking invasion that had conquered the rest of England and burnt some cakes. He then became the last holdout of resistance against the invaders and forced the conversion of the Danish king Guthrum to Christianity after the battle of Ethandun. Chesterton says "This ballad needs no historical notes, for the simple reason that it does not profess to be historical. All of it that is not frankly fictitious, as in any prose romance about the past, is meant to emphasize tradition rather than history. That is the use of tradition: it telescopes history."Named after the chalk horses carved into English hills (and partly set at Uffington), it begins with an exhortation to true Christianity in the face of despair and defeat, and ends with a prediction of more barbarian invasions. It focuses on the nature of faith in times of despair, and on the true strength of local kings in the face of empires."... you and all the kind of ChristAre ignorant and brave,And you have wars you hardly winAnd souls you hardly save...."In some far century, sad and slow,I have a vision, and I knowThe heathen shall return...."They shall come mild as monkish clerks,With many a scroll and pen;And backward shall ye turn and gaze,Desiring one of Alfred's days,When pagans still were men."
