Poems from the Bathtub: a Dip in the Pond That Goes Beyond John Kelly Hughes

Publisher Marketing: "Poetry connects the reader by igniting imagination so the ears can hear the whispers of crickets, the body can feel the passionate lips of lovers, taste the satisfying libation of discovery, smell the newly blooming buds of love, and the eyes can take in a 360 degree vision of possibility." John Kelly Hughes opens the curtain on these poems and prose-poems as a three-part story of the hero's journey. The first part, Water Wisdom includes questions and understandings the hero has about himself, the womb of discovery, taking honest inventory of warts and wisdom. Bravery Brewing centers on the internal and external forces that do not want the hero to be a hero. The final and third part, Tsunami Songs is filled with intensity and crescendo of risk as the hero triumphs over inertia, indecisiveness and bad insight to arrive at his own destiny fully alive and whole. ..". Nobody can sing your song Nobody can make your baby Nobody can fool you into thinking you're somebody else for long Because then you would not be you..." Discover a new landscape within your poetic self with Poems From The Bathtub, a hero's journey of poetry for anyone who loves the rhythm of paradox, the melody of play and the triumph of possibility.
