Publisher's Synopsis
Sometimes, I think that's all we are. An accumulation of broken thoughts that we spend a lifetime trying to put back together, and in the end, when we realise the futility of the task it's too late, and we regret having never lived completely devoid of past afflictions, we regret having never abandoned the ghosts. Those that only ever pull us into the graves where they alone belong. Before heroin, crack cocaine and the miscast light of youth, there were such dark things about my past that I would selectively emphasise the more pleasant whenever reminiscing in adult company, divulging otherwise insignificant moments of my life that took place within the abhorrence of my provincial prison. It would cushion the reality that my once delightful little town, had in fact harboured unspeakable personal horrors that would of course, make it far less of a delight. A vivid, stark collection of contemporary poetry and prose, coupled with fantastical short stories and a deeply moving memoire, 'Raven on the Rainbow Bridge' is a remarkable sojourn through time, chaos, and what ultimately saves us all from an otherwise inevitable oblivion; the enigma of love. The second collection from D A Ellis
