Donandvicki- 5 stars

  This would do well in the book of Revelations,
  Dark, ominous and bone cold chilling.
  Don.

Dustychange- 5 stars

  Woah. What a beautiful vision~! Well, it's
  talking about something morbid and
  apocalyptic, but the way it's being expressed

  is beautiful.The cool thing about this work

  seems to be that it's sensually appealing.
  Besides that, the language used is also direct
  and thoughtful. Excellent work.

Magic Wand- 5 stars

  Your writing is very dark and sometimes
  disturbing. But mostly, it is honest. Not what
  we always see today. You have a natural talent
  to tell it like it is, no matter what.

Poetic Friend- 5 stars

  Wow, this is haunting. Definitley makes the
  reader want to continue reading the others. I
  like your writing style.

Xylok- 5 stars

  Dude, killer poem with killer imagery and a
  killer ending; that's like a triple homicide
  via quill. the whole things full of vivid
  description and the internal word play and
  rhymes sound awesome when orated. nuclear
  scythe rocks. glimpsing a truth you cannot
  abide, intense! profound. this poem is awesome.

This collection offers a peek beyond the mask of the author. The glimpse is brief and partial; sometimes sad,
sometimes funny, sometimes serious, sometimes whimsical but always candid. Look into my eye, it’s time to see what hides down that rabbit hole...

Apocalypse and Beyond

Available from Amazon

Apocalypse and Beyond is a compilation of poems from my previous anthologies, Apocalyptic Visions and Beyond the Mask, fleshed out with a selection of previously unpublished works for a total of 80 poems. Rather than presenting them alphabetically they have been arranged chronologically, in the order they were written. In this way my first poem, Apocalyptic Vision, the one penned after that moment of epiphany on a busy street many years ago (see the Foreword to my 1st book, Apocalyptic Visions), is presented in its rightful position - at the head of the collection.



To make it easier to locate a particular poem, this digital edition includes a fully navigable alphabetical listing, located immediately after the Table of Contents.
