Autor

Kevin Girard's life was shaped early on by reading Victor E Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning at the age of twelve. Greatly influenced by Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky, Marx, Camus, Sartre, Kafka, as well other lesser-known philosophers, he has spent a lifetime studying and putting philosophy and theology into practise in his own life. A graduate of the University of Alberta, he began writing to understand his own life path-which included thirty-six years in the mental health system. Winter Wonderland? is Girard's second book of poetry; his first is Journey Songs (2024). He hopes his work will foster dialogue on important intellectual thoughts that have, and continue to have, an impact on society. He is a practising Catholic and lives in Edmonton, Alberta. It is all a tragic play where actors display their inability to say the words not the lines written by the Thomistic mind. Sorrow is now a play on words we no longer read or speak words meek we must declare that we cannot walk a Way. Away from the Sorrow we do stray . . .
