Produktbeschreibung

This current anthology is the product of years of my extensive experience with the written word. The original anthology contained the black-and-white illustrations included in this book. The writings in that book evolved from my brief time as a homeless person after my graduation from Columbia College, Chicago. This book is an extension of my experience with the counseling services of the Thresholds Dincin Center and with the Bezazian Writers Groupa group originally formed as part of the now-defunct Neighborhood Writing Alliance.

Autorenporträt

Allen F. McNair (b. 1951) joined Project Onward in December 2018. A self-taught artist and poet, Allen is "inspired daily by the wonders of life around me, my present and past experiences, and both the inner and outer beauty of all women." Allen received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Columbia College in 1990. Allen's proudest achievement is the 2015 self-publication of his science fiction paperback, "I Dream of A'maresh." The 142-page epic poem is an exploration of the various faces of good and evil. The protagonist is "a visitor to our world from the furthest shore of a celestial sea" who ¡s forced to make a life-altering decision. Allen's vibrant ink and marker drawings feature otherworldly, narrative scenes with figures and geometric shapes. He describes them as representations of the stories that come to him in his dreams. "I have mainly created illustrations that depict a future planet earth and other worlds more heavenly. These illustrations reveal a world of dreams and mental communication between the characters and our future."
