NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Curtis Parris has completed his new book 'As The Wayward Wind Blows', an enthralling volume of well-versed poetry that will surely speak to its readers. Parris is gifted with the ability to convey a variety of human emotions, cleverly using ordinary words to create poems that feed one's soul.
This passionate poetry compilation displays Parris' ability to carefully craft poetic phrases. His way of giving life to words is both a blessing and a curse. As he ventures around the universe within his own mind, Parris makes observations on love, life, belonging, existence, loss, sorrow, and demise. A retired firefighter, EMT, husband, father, and devout evangelical Christian born into a poor family of sharecroppers in rural Alabama, Parris shares his real-world experiences of living through eight culturally-defining decades. Parris also suffers from anxiety and depression; thus, the compelling need to let out his internal struggles through poetry.
This incredible collection is truly a remarkable experience. From the liner notes:
"This book marks the first time the poetry of Curtis Wayne Parris appears in print. The poems were selected to showcase Parris' mastery of verse and provide readers with a broad range of poetic styles from Parris' diverse catalog. Readers should be advised – and forewarned – that they are about to enter into a world of hauntingly beautiful prose and verse that spans the spectrum of human emotion, from zeniths of bliss to nadirs of sorrow. In his cosmic meanderings, Parris wanders through psychedelic dreamscapes of sublime beauty but also descends into the deepest gorges of despair. Through linguistic alchemy, Parris skillfully blends subject, sound, syntax, and syncopation to create naturally rhythmic poems charged with pure emotion. Blessed with a gift for alliteration and cadence, Parris uses simple, everyday words to convey the most intimate and horrifying details of his life.
Parris does not seek exposure nor notoriety, for he lives in a world of night, of moonscapes and shadows. Instead, Parris writes because he has a tempest inside. Parris injects metaphysical concepts into his poems, frequently traveling through time, space, and other dimensions as he explores the mysterious universe within his mind. In these respects, his poems can touch upon ancient nerves; for we are all, to some degree or another, just fellow travelers in time, journeying through life, seeking solace, and awaiting final destinations. Into this abstract poetic tapestry, Parris weaves his observations on life, death, religion, and politics. Come along and take a journey through the land of dreams."
