About the Book

As the first two books of poems published by Chipminka clearly showed, John has experienced severe mental problems due to a savage sexual assault and rape. This volume shows the therapeutic and cathartic value of the act of writing in overcoming such problems. This is a good example of attention to the daily habit of creativity. John, in this volume, clearly demonstrates how writing has transformed a series of major personal problems into opportunities—above all, the opportunity to transform his most intimate musings into a fascinating series of poems.
