Synopsis

This is a collection of poetry and short stories moving from the discussion of god to the zombie apocalypse, a compilation ranging from the struggles of a drunk in purgatory to the poetic exploration of the evolution of humanity. This book is written by one starving for anyone who has an appetite. There are many manners of hunger--not merely the ache in your belly that some know so well, while other so rarely feel… I speak of the many basic cravings of life: love, solitude, accomplishment, loss, gluttony and self deprivation This is one simple man’s exploration of truth through a life time of a mixture of embracing spiritual fulfillment and the hollow emptiness of defeat. So I ask you now as you contemplate these words. Are you hungry?

About this title

About the Author

I live in Minneapolis, MN where I attend college and work at a local gallery. In my adult life I have seen warehouses, the look of a crowd as I bow onstage, pizza delivery jobs, psych wards, and the loss and gain of life. You may ask yourself what qualifies anyone to become an author. I would say the answer is passion, experience, tenacity, and the confidence that comes with knowing pain and also knowing one can overcome it. I have poured my life and all that comes with it into my writing since I was a child, and I am proud to call myself a writer. -Bill Johnston
