The Conversationalist James Alewine

From GCPA award winning journalist and author of "Begendings: A collection of Poems" comes another collection of brutal poems and prose; written to explore the raw and difficult topics of conversation we so often avoid in everyday life. James Alewine delves into the topics that make your gut twist in pain and cause you to pause and consider the ferocity of life, death, love, loss, and everything that happens in between. This book is for those who long to speak about these difficult topics but find themselves unable to find their own words, or to find a place to start. The book is designed so that the reader may use the blank space between each poem to write their own thoughts on the subject, and to express their emotions as they see fit. This book is an emotional interaction between writer and reader, so that the reader may never feel alone in their thoughts, or unheard in their words. "The Conversationalist" is more than a light read of enjoyable poetry, it is an intimate and raw conversation between two individuals asking the same questions and searching for some suitable answers to them together.
