"The power of C.S. Fuqua's poetry lies in the relentless chronicling of real people with real sorrow, triumph, regret, and above all, the sad beauty of the human experience. Superb poetry from an American poet and musician." Tony Nesca, Author of About A Girl"C.S Fuqua's transcendent verses encapsulate the many moods and dispositions of 'dadhood.' His reflections are compelling, affecting, witty and tender. A recommended read for the expectant father." Ali Kinteh, author of The Nepenthe Park Chronicles"Though I've read Christopher Fuqua's horror stories and listened to his haunting melodies on the Native American flute, he displays another side to his soul in his collected poems on fatherhood. Through touching snippets he exposes the heartbreak of the miscarriages he and his wife endure in their efforts to birth a child. Then, when a pregnancy finally takes, his poetry blossoms with the growing bond between father and daughter, the eternal struggle to support, yet let her fail. Swing me, Dad! Swing me high! moving into her first day of school, her first solo ride on an escalator. These poems will resonate with every parent, maybe even bring a tear to their eye." Suanne Schafer, author of Hunting the Devil

Fuqua has been writing most of his life, but, to survive, he's worked as a newspaper reporter, magazine editor, book editor, English tutor, substitute teacher, janitor, respiratory therapy technician, gas station attendant (when such things existed), salesclerk, musician in a Mexican restaurant, writing instructor, and more. Chris earned a bachelor's in communication arts/journalism from University of West Florida where he learned journalism before 24/7 cable TV and internet "news" sites annihilated journalistic ethics, responsibility, and professionalism. After a few stints as a daily and weekly newspaper reporter, Chris moved to Hawaii where he served as a magazine writer/photographer, both on-staff and freelance, until he moved back to the Mainland in 1986. In the late-1980s, he turned to full-time freelance writing, specializing initially in nonfiction before transitioning primarily to fiction and poetry.Chris began crafting Native American style flutes in the early 1990s and producing music professionally in the early 2000s, including the WindPoem series that features Native American flute meditations and world fusion/jazz compositions. His music is available for purchase and licensing. Visit the WindPoem music page for more information.
