Publisher's Summary

Turned on its head, reality’s madness becomes a comical carnival of the ridiculous with intervals of creative, contemplative verse.

Within this collection of short stories and poems are the musings, struggles, and cynicisms of those who see the political puppetry, the diminishing resources, the infinite greed, overconsumption, and violence that exists beneath the accepted patina of contemporary society.

Through the power of spoken word, atmospheric soundscapes, and musical melodies, these revelations represent the willful recognition of truth and the rejection of falsity; they are the murmurs of the mad.

Exquisite story telling 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

This is a fantastic montage of poetic genius. Highly recommend to anyone seeking enchantment in their day. Where do we purchase a hard copy of this sir? I hear the artistry is no less than extraordinary.

What a journey!

Loved it. A musical and lyrical journey that is unapologetically confronting, cynical and humourous.

Wow. Performance and the words

What a brain! Powerful, fun and emotion evoking poetry. Particular chapter 7 and chapter 14. I really have enjoyed listening. You should see the illustrations in the book, also!
