Cuz Somewhere Along The Line I Forgot My Self (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In the last three of four years, I have come to realize the metal of a man is not in so much what he earns, nor how his daily bread is spent, but rather in how much he stands up for his ideals and how well he abides by them. This book as the other two books released simultaneously, Might As Well Fly Away and Too Much/Not Enough, all speak to this point in one way or another. And whether it is standing up for the clinically depressed or speak out for the eternal spirit of the poet, each poem is written with it and only it as the focus of attention. And thus Nothing is left out of any of them. As a whole they speak to the vision, I have of a world not fettered by personal possessions, nor private notions of My This Your That.

Perhaps, they will speak to you, and ring a bell larger or small inside you that says: This Spirit I have inside me (that is yours not mine) is as noble and grand as any mountain and as pure as any spring. And it is my not only right but obligation to set it free!"

If this happens then the work and love that were "put into" the three books will not have been in vain.

Autorenporträt

I've been writing for a very long time, what seems like my whole life, taking it seriously from the time I was about 11. Now, at 46, I think I may be starting to get the hang of it: Say what you feel, as passionately as you can, but always with an ear turned to those who are listening.
Most of my more serious work is done at live performances, which i do totally extemporaneously, channeling the mood of the room as my fingers play on the guitar. You can see some of that if you go to "my" website. (Open Mics Austin is a platform I created to showcase the Spoken Word scene here in Austin, TX. Only a small role in which i play.)
As far as I can tell what makes good writing is LOVE. Love ,plainly simply, and with no strings attached.
I put these words/books before you, not so much because I want something back from it, because I think and feel like I feel my bones and my soul, if you were to see the world, experience it like it do, for even a brief moment, you would walk away from that happier, more alive, compassionate and in tune with all those around you.
Peace, good will, and harmony. Let those be your guiding light.
Agape forever,
Scott Vanya
