Emotional Fissures: A Collection of Poetry (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

During nine months in 2008, author John C. Winchell experienced a broken longstanding love relationship, principal job/housing loss and the death of his youngest sister Elizabeth. Emotional Fissures explores the raw, unfiltered feelings he negotiated during that fateful chain of tragic life events.

The breadth of subject matter is diverse and utterly personal. With no intimate support system, poetry became John's primary coping mechanism, creative outlet and confidant. Blending sublime metaphor with vivid symbolism, he has painted ruthlessly cathartic scenes of painful memory to both haunt and inspire the reader.

Each poem in this collection reveals the rugged terrain of John's inner emotional landscape as he faced elemental fear, grief and loss with unflinching honesty. The result is a journey of intense pain and quiet suffering leading to deep introspection and, ultimately, spiritual evolution.

A testament to the human spirit's resilient healing capacity, Emotional Fissures offers hope and inspiration for anyone healing from an emotional upheaval due to tragic life circumstances. Its relevancy cannot be overstated, as the collection also encourages readers to embark on their own inner journey of evolving compassionate awareness.

Autorenporträt

John C. Winchell was born & raised in the Southeastern US. In 1986, his family moved to Cape Cod, MA. After high school, he attended UMass-Amherst & graduated with a BA in Journalism. Over the next decade, his post-baccalaureate education comprised of graphic arts, web design & printmaking coursework at schools in both Boston & the SF Bay Area.

John's next adventure involved embarking on multiple cross-country trips to find an ideal home base for permanent relocation. To date, that place has yet to reveal itself. Since leaving New England in 2016, he has primarily migrated between Asheville, NC & Central FL over the last several years.

Accordingly, this nomadic lifestyle required the adoption of relative minimalism. A mountain bike, surfboard & MacBook Pro are John's primary possessions of choice. These tools serve to help him engage Nature & record the wisdom it yields in a continuing quest to fully express his personal truth.

Poetry has been a part of John's paradigm since 2001. At first he utilized it as a cathartic vent to help mitigate the trials of life. After a while, though, his writing took on a life of its own. Notably, John discovered his innate skill of boiling paragraphs of thought down into concise poem stanzas while still effectively conveying his core emotions. To him this represented an incredibly powerful, efficient means of self-expression.

So far, John has officially self-published two poetry collections: Emotional Fissures in 2009 & Inner Pathways in 2023. He continues writing to this very day.
