Produktbeschreibung
The author takes readers on a journey and descent into a darker tale in epic poems Reverend Carl Yount started upon a life on the road when working the carnival circuit starting at age fifteen. He traveled with a small outfit around western New York in the summer seasons, then taking off to other parts of the country working various unskilled and skilled jobs ranging from dishwashing to construction. He spent much time with poets and artists in New York City/New Jersey, wandering from coffee shop to coffee shop having philosophical discussions. His poetic influences range from romanticism (William Blake, John Keats, PB Shelley) to surrealism (Arthur Rimbaud), to idealistic philosophy (Immanuel Kant), to Aristotle and of course Frederick Niche. This period of over ten years was filled with poetry, art, philosophy, and spirituality. Traveling cross-country on diverging roads between New York and LA by car, train, and bus, he gained a wealth of life experiences.
Autorenporträt
Reverend Carl Yount transitioned from a period of earlier darkness to a lighter spirituality as his professional life evolved to work as a certified nursing assistant in nursing home dementia units. He also immersed himself in a continual journey of training on various theologies to appease his growing desire to embrace a life beholding to faith. This is seen in the transition of his writings to a lighter theme in spirituality. Over time, Reverend Carl has established an all faith ministry and balances this time between his passion and work at a pet cemetery and as a chaplain in a number of motorcycle organizations.
