This first collection of 112 passionate, raw, thought-provoking
poems is just a small selection from the library that the
brilliant, brutally honest and prolific poet James Barrett
Rodehaver has written in his lifetime. His words illustrate
absolute fearlessness in self-discovery, his journey to find faith,
and his relentless championing of hope for a better country and
world. His poems span a wide chronology of growth and
self-evolution, of despair and victory, of his hatred for injustice
and his love of artists and poets. As a member of the LGBT
community, he makes sure his readers know where he stands on
equality and love. As a disabled man with a rare progressive bone
disease, he uniquely understands the pain we all go through on our
journey, and that poetry is how all of us can turn pain into
triumph. He chronicles his sufferings, his hopeful outlook, and his
questions to God about why he is the way he is, with poetry that
renders the soul bare. He is a survivor of not only a disability
and near-death, but of family crisis and the foster care system.
Yet despite all of this, his world view, though bitter at times,
still remains that of a dreamer. He presents to us many faces, and
yet, all of them are one: the revolutionary, the fighter, the witty
and hilarious dirty-minded poet, and the sensual lover. His poetry
shows us his true soul, and this impressive collection of his lets
us in on a man of kindness, integrity and conscience. It is as much
yours as it is his, and he has put his full heart and soul into
every page. Read it, share it, cherish it, and know that you, as
well, are strangely wonderful
