SOULPUNK: a tale of time in poetry

by Wade Pierson

SOULPUNK is my life in twenty-six years told in fragments through poetry, letters, and unconventional essays. This book explores the complexities of love, grief, reconciliation, humor, and the inner battles of the heart, mind, and soul that one often believes they face alone. Evolving from boyhood to manhood, conversations with God, family, and a range of other topics, this collection addresses triggering and mental health themes. All the while answering the question... How do you live?



From the poem "The Question":

Pulled from the womb of your mother

slapped on the back

you've found yourself with the breath of life

and so the question remains...

"how do you live?"

This book is for anyone who’s ever contemplated life and asked, “Why?” Pierson’s debut investigates the essence of what it means to be human through the lens of his own life experiences. Thought-provoking.
