Scorn

This unique collection of poems was inspired by a true account of love and loss. Rarely do we delve into the fury of betrayal, the pain of being abandoned, and the emotional devastation that is the aftermath. Review of SCORN SCORN as a body attempts to treat wounds too deep and too salted to heal. This work is a study in the opposing forces that flog our souls in times of desperate need. It is at once futile and effective. Anger, spite, and the bright fresh wounds of betrayal describe the first third of the book, which then surprisingly moves into works of hope. A fleeting hope of a joyous resolution as it turns out for SCORN culminates in utter resignation-confirming the existentialist nightmare that looms in every human heart. The author presents a brave face yearning for the sting and release of death-but he is really just everyman bellowing into the abyss knowing that there can be no answer. Not even an echo.
