Author Description

Ghosts reincarnate, the graveyard of the past is opened, allowing them to roam about again causing mischief... Day battles night for supreme dominance of the visual universe; unseen forces triumph... Sentient trees, rivers, rocks, and mountains attempt to communicate with a listless, preoccupied mankind... Assaulting insomnia wrestles timid sleep for control, implementing anything that makes noise as its weaponry... Romantic love looks past the mirror's lies as age and memory ally to blur reality for joyfully bonded lovers... An ever unfolding now, and an unforgiving past share space in realities which exist just nanoseconds apart, but with surprisingly different versions of events... There is no prison that can contain a restless heart, no painful lock so binding that love cannot open it. OTHER WORLDS, IN OTHER WORDS is a refreshing combination of eclectic and conventional verse from Jerry Lovelady, a new and exciting voice in American poetry.
