The thought behind the book THE ABSENCE OF GRAY is to dissuade the concepts of gray or of uncertainty. The poems persuade you to think a different way or expound on ideas that you already believe to be true. This poetry represents feelings of happiness, sadness, peace, rage, unrest, and victory. I hope the journey through this book is one of benefit and consciousness.

Poetry is ecstatic speech.  It is intended to be spoken aloud, not simply read silently from the page.  D.H. Lawrence’s poetry is ecstatic in nature, particularly his poems which are concerned with issues of human wholeness.

The Author's vision for writing this book has been simply to introduce some of D.H. Lawrence’s magnificent poems in such a way that others might come to love and appreciate them as deeply as he does.  People from every gender and walk of life can find enjoyment and inspiration from Lawrence’s poetry in "Hunger For Wholeness".

    Statement: A poet is an individual who has the ability to express his disappointment in mankind.  An individual who finds beauty that other don''t see and has the audacity to write about his pain and observance of life.  In essence a poet is someone who has too much leisure time.  

       Book summary:  A collection of poems about lost love and the journey on the road of life. 

 A new Millennium collection of poetry that range from Shamanistic nature and observation, to relationships and abstract thought. Most of the poems are in English, though there are some heavy slang works mixed in as well. Also included are Spanish poems that I have translated. Some of  the poetry contains heavy Caribbean slang but the translation is pure.

Sixty two pieces of surreal prose...colorful and peculiar images abound inside this pages.

Somewhere between your pastel daydreams and your neon nightmares there lies the option of: "Breastfeeding Pelican Skulls At Gunpoint".

The conception happened on March 1 2005. The moment he realized he was pregnant with knowledge he ran to a piece of paper and used a black ink pen to see the results. After fifteen minutes J.L. Kirkwood realized that not only was he about to be a parent, he was about to give birth to words. He had morning sickness trying to figure out a way to bring poetry into the communities. He wanted to marry spoken word and bring written word into your living room. He wanted to give life to a book that would be thought provoking and timeless. A book that would bring about change. A concept that would create a balance between love and hate, trust and pain. He struggles with growth but admits his flaws and battles with the forces of darkness to become a better man. And after months of labor pains he finally gives birth to a healthy newborn…

A Missing Piece of Jigsaw:

The Birth, Life and Death of a Destructive Relationship

An anthology of didactic poems written over a two year period which illustrates the desperation and predictable demise of an emotionally abusive relationship, along with the gradual destruction of a trusting nature; this work was published to offer solace to others in a similar situation.

The reader should attempt some critical analysis around the role of the victim and of the 'missing piece of jigsaw'.

 The respondent displayed a range of narcissistic traits as well as compulsive lying and the catalyst for the end of the relationship was participation in a lie detector test (see page 36: ‘I didn’t do anything’). Responses are expressed in italic font and a single contribution from a third party (the lie detection consultant) is presented at page 56.

Readers might identify a range of other issues including insecurity, dependence and love addiction and the author hopes that this work will helpothers in a similar situation to work through their pain through examination of a dysfunctional relationship that nearly cost the author her sanity.
