Author Description

In this provocative collection of verse, Maynard explores the complexities of human existence with equal parts imagination and philosophical insight. Within these vividly penned pages, awaits a journey of self-reflection and contemplation. Maynard fearlessly confronts the dichotomies that both buoy and trouble the soul—pleasure and pain, creation and destruction, truth and lies. His candid vulnerability elicits tears and laughter in equal measure. Readers will discover interesting observations on the subjectivity of time, the limitations of mankind, and the resilience of the human spirit. From imaginative tales of the "Mad Man" to reflections on suffering, these poems deliver goosebump-inducing reminders to meet fear with courage, withhold quick judgments, and pursue virtue even when the path ahead grows dim.
