Substitute Thoughts

From the author of <i>Good Seats Still Available</i> comes <i>Substitute Thoughts</i> Kelly Hay's second collection of published poetry. This second compilation is seemingly an about-face from the first delving into subject matter the reader merely glimpsed before. <i>Good Seats</i> was for the most part an encouraging exercise in hope and belief purpose and love. But <i>Substitute Thoughts</i> takes the reader on a different journey exploring the darker side of the human mystery our depressions our addictions our heartache. It has been said painting is silent poetry and poetry painting that speaks... [Simondes].<br>In this collection Hay paints an intimate portrait of life in the darkest shades of midnight from whence humanity's most discouraging nightmares come alive.
