Scorn & Contempt

Scorn & Contempt contains over three dozen poems written for the fragile souls author Darius McCaskey considers his tribe. Within its pages are reflections on our similarly broken world: an unflinching eye gazes on climate change and pollution political strife toxic relationships and abuse. Conflict splinters inner lives and outer façades leaving scorn and contempt to erupt from the fractures. Surrounded by ugliness pain and trauma one can still find beauty healing and peace in the quest for truth. The poems in Scorn & Contempt are meant to be a way station for the battered and bruised in need of respite on their eternal journey.
