Ian A. Campbell is proud to present his first poetry collection-a set of broadly relatable writings, divided into six distinct parts, touching on universal and sometimes surprising themes that open the door to thoughtful introspection:
Life-Campbell mourns and memorializes loved ones who have passed on, examining the stages of his own life and the experiences that have changed him.
Love-The power of love in all its forms is explored-the romance, the melancholy, and the pride of a father for his children.
Livity-Campbell expounds upon this natural life force, the truth and energy that inhabits each of us and everything around us.
Violence-The cycles of aggression and victimization through history and into the present day are lamented and their personal impacts examined.
Belief-Campbell's sense of awe and wonder take flight in these poems revolving around faith and family.
Race-Campbell draws on his own experience as a black man in America, pointing at how far American culture still has to go to create tolerance and stability for all citizens.
Some of Campbell's poems are intensely personal; others look to society's freedoms and flaws-but all are inspirational, distinct expressions of creativity and passion.
