Produktbeschreibung
Sometimes creating a poem is nothing more than a rite of exorcism, a catharsis by which you cast out a demon skulking about your interior landscape, exiling it to the surface of a sheet of plain white paper ... From A Rite of Exorcism Variations in the Perception of Color is a collection of work by poet Howard Brown. The author reflects on the world, interesting people with whom he has interacted, the unique character of animals, the effect of nature on the mind, the ongoing pandemic, and the purpose of poetry. While exploring his personal experiences, he meanders deftly between the real world and that of the imagination, exploring how things might have turned out in slightly altered circumstances. His poems reveal that poetry is often akin to a dream - a means of expression that challenges the capacity of words.
Autorenporträt
Howard Brown is an author, speaker, podcaster, Silicon Valley entrepreneur, interfaith peacemaker, two-time stage IV cancer survivor and healthcare advocate. For more than three decades, Howard's business innovations, leadership principles, mentoring and his resilience in beating cancer against long odds have made him a sought-after speaker and consultant for businesses, nonprofits, congregations and community groups. In his business career, Howard was a pioneer in helping to launch a series of technology startups before he co-founded two social networks that were the first to connect religious communities around the world. He served his alma mater -- Babson College, ranked by US News as the nation's top college for entrepreneurship -- as a trustee and president of Babson's worldwide alumni network. His hard-earned wisdom about resilience after beating cancer twice has led him to become a nationally known patient advocate and "cancer whisperer" to many families.
