Fountain of You

About this ebook
The confident generation of abstract imagery, often through point blank prose, belies a courageous vulnerability in a landscape of pervasive alienation. Sunlight is given a voice in some of the more philosophical odes to existential triumph. Other poems are masks of personal intrigue well-worn to a masquerade reality. The poet makes esoteric profundity instantly accessible, uploading them like poetic algorithms in metaphysical 4D.
Jason Micheal Dunn
Hiding in plain sight, behind a smile, weaving through fallen beams of sunshine surfing sidewalk, etching the ineffable along the edge of scintillating sea."Yeah, I love the beach, listening to music, my second favorite color is teal."I'm alive. I'm dying.
