A brief description about my graphic novel, it's OUT NOW: iranzye.gumroad.com

Absolutely. Mother and father-in-law sent me his book when my first child was born 32 years ago. Skimmed through it and threw it right into the trash. Sadist.

The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman blew my mind in high school. Bought a used copy in my 40’s because books are friends.

Come see me on the south side! I'll be reading Back to Alabama this Saturday June 14 at Georgian Gallery McDonough from 5-8pm.
With poets Hester L. ("Lee") Furey, John Charles Griffin, Ed Hall, and Bryant O'Hara

You go to the woods without your red wool coat. The wolves do not stop you and the coyotes bicker far away. You wander beneath the flight of an owl and under moonlight. Your footsteps make no sound but your heart is a midnight song composed of stars…

Yes!

Damn, Gabe. Powerful.

Road, curving through trees

You'd like to believe
no one sees you
moving through
the journey
that is your life
but you know
you can travel incognito
in your own mind
but out here
where the messiness
of living occurs
you pay attention
to the signs
reminding you
to keep moving forward
instead of backward.

I am thinking strictly about the other people in that person‘s life in this scenario. I don’t know the character’s motives or situation 😬

I would say half the day in one world and the second half of the day in the other world so as not to raise suspicion.

Writing – wise, that would be tough.

Be punk: support the arts and grab a copy of my newest poetry collection while it's half-off. It would mean the world to me to be on your bookshelf, and I'll be collecting you-with-my-book pics!

The people at Staples are generally pretty nice and you would have the advantage of being able to sit at a desk in the office chair of your choosing.
So I’ve heard.

The roof leaks and its draughty,
But we know the ghosts.
