This isn't poetry for the classroom. This is poetry for the fight.
Moonshine Love is a high-proof collection of rhymes, confessions, and stories from a life lived loudly, unapologetically, and often painfully. Gene Strother, known as the Word Warrior, delivers a collection of sophomoric sonnets that reject academic pretense in favor of raw honesty, rhythm, and heart.
From the swagger of the Abilene Kid to the broken contrition of a black sheep finding his way home, this collection takes the reader on a three-part journey:
- The Sunrise: The intoxicating energy of youth, romance, and a Texas-sized love that refuses to quit.
- The Valley: A raw, unflinching look at the Dark Night of the Soul, exploring themes of doubt, addiction, loss, and the silence of God.
- The Setting Sun: The hard-won wisdom of a man who has wrestled with his demons and found redemption, grace, and a resilient faith.
Whether he is retelling modern folktales like Mistletoe Joe, confessing his own failures in The Sure Thing, or declaring his devotion in A Psalm of David Eugene, Strother writes with a unique blend of grit and grace.
If you are looking for inspirational poetry that feels real, relatable, and ready to meet you in the trenches of everyday life, this book is for you.
Perfect for fans of cowboy poetry, spiritual memoirs, and readers who want to find the sacred in the middle of the profane. Moonshine Love is a testament to the fact that while life may break us, love-and a little bit of rock 'n' roll-can put us back together.
