A Glorious Poetic Rage

Written during one of the most challenging times of unanticipated change and transition due to a deadly world pandemic and the societal unrest that followed A Glorious Poetic Rage is a breath of cathartic air and an emotional elixir to both. Elmo Shade in this third poetry collection takes the reader on a juxtaposed journey from surprise to panic from rage to resilience and from fear to redemption.Viktor Frankl once said Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom. A Glorious Poetic Rage captures the universal experience of love loss and the cultural spaces in-between each as well as combining humor (Two Widows Having Coffee) with stories of family (Herkies Shoe Shop The Sister I Never Had) friendships (Then There Are Wolves Hunters and Farmers) and the mindful will of never giving up (Predator Love Dogs) in the most difficult of times.
