Life, Death, and Living With a Death Wish

Beschreibung

Although Roy Day never accepted the reality that he had a death wish, his friends and family did and commented on it repeatedly. He just thought he went at Life real hard. Roy experienced multiple near-death and close call experiences. His family quit counting at thirteen, some estimates run up to eighteen. Roy fell seven stories, went into the White Light and came back; and that was just the beginning. At times on a spiritual journey, and other times he drove too fast, drank too much, and had multiple girlfriends. After the Death Wish poems, there are sections of political, historical, and social commentary poems, Earthsongs/Goddessongs, and a section of Religious, Mystical, and Occult poems.

Autor

This three-book autobiography in poetry covers the first forty years of an unusual life. He begins as a soccer star and senior class president, who four months after graduation falls seven stories, who then in a wheelchair, writes, coaches, practices Karate, and spends three years training to be shaman. Although Day is what Bob Marley calls "a natural mystic," like so many of his generation, he dealt with periods of partying too hard and exhibiting what seemed like self-destructive behavior. His first forty years - his spiritual journey, his loves, the dark side, all the near-death experiences, political, religious, and social commentary, his love of Nature and Mother Earth - it is a complex life revealed in poetry. Although Day began writing poetry in early adolescence, the first book begins his senior year and covers the next turbulent twelve years. The second book in the trilogy is a complete love affair and covers a couple of years. The third book is more or a normal poetry collection taking him to forty. Roy has attempted to make it almost exclusively poetry, but has supplied enough prose to provide context for the interested.
