Scars and Stories

Don Edwards grew up in rural southern USA. There among few distractions he learned that life can be lived and that love may be found but both are ultimately taken by the chronic Tick-Tock of time. Based on this he has been trying to clarify his purpose with the help of poetry. Scars and Stories is his first collection and within its pages he tackles love and death since these are all that really matter. His poems show us that love can elevate us above the gravity of everyday life. At the same time we are reminded that despite our sense of decision-making power we live with a mere illusion of control. Of course ultimately death wins all battles. The clock is constantly ticking but we can offer and accept love and in doing so not fear the darkness or the final day.
