About the Book
Diving into the abyss of your psyche is less about the fall and more about what you yell on the way down. The darkness, the depression, and the flirtations with the edge are like footnotes in my biography; the plot sometimes reads like a twisted psychological thriller.
These words and pages of manic, desperate poetry are an existential punching bag. As Klosterman might say about the paradox of pop culture, it's an escape from and a confrontation with reality.
My art follows a script and is a multi-level paradox and method for processing existence's absurdity and making sense of the senseless.
Therapeutic, like a late-night, caffeine-fueled debate about the existential crisis in a Tarantino movie. It acknowledges the darkness, then pokes it with a stick to see what squirms. It is finding narrative within the chaos of truth in a world that often feels like a team of overworked, underpaid sitcom writers are in charge of scripting our every step.
Irony in pain, humor in despair, and universal truth in personal suffering while stealthily avoiding self-pity and aiming for self-aware introspection that borders on absurdity.
Inspired by the raw spirit of outliers like Cohen, Bukowski, Bangs, Welsh, Klosterman, and Burroughs, my creations delve into deep psychological and poetic territories of the underdog.
Journey through themes that weave the fabric of human existence – love, culture, self-perception, life and death, and the intricacies of interpersonal relationships.
