Report from X-Star 10

Beschreibung

A world in crisis: Economic. Political. Social. Spiritual. The climate changing, the stock market plunging. Species becoming extinct. Disease, famine, overpopulation. War. Nuclear annihilation? Revolution or evolution? Where is mankind heading? What is the fate of human civilization on our little Planet Earth? In Report From X Star 10, Laurence Overmire, poet, philosopher and visionary, takes the reader on a startling adventure through time and space, a roller coaster ride of up and down emotional twist and turn, burrowing into the dark tunnels of human nature and finishing, somewhat short of breath, somewhere in the light of renewed promise and hopeful beginning. This innovative book of poetry also contains original art by the poet, all created in bitmaps, which Overmire calls "the cave painting of the Technology Age."

Autor

Laurence Overmire has had a multi-faceted career as poet, author, actor, director, educator and genealogist. Scottish historian Ted Cowan (University of Glasgow) calls him "a true sennachie, a genealogist as well as a bard." The sennachies of ancient Celtic tradition were voices of conscience, who knew the legends, the history and the ancestral lineages. They united the people in story and song, arguing for justice and illuminating the difference between right and wrong. Overmire is, in many ways, a modern-day inheritor of that ancient tradition and his work represents a call to conscience and a call to action. He is an advocate for a healthy, just and peaceful world. His poetry has been widely published in the U.S. and abroad. As a genealogist, he has helped hundreds of thousands of people connect with their family roots. As an actor, he has performed on Broadway, film and television. He has been teaching arts programs in the schools and other venues for over twenty years. www.laurenceovermire.com
