Embattled We: A Poet's War

by Adam Scott Campbell

This is a deep look into the heart of one who has been touched by heaven while living through hell. Each poetic piece was a literal means of saving a life. These poems have been, and are, and will be a medium through which other lives are saved.


Adam Scott Campbell began writing as an young teenager in the midst of emotional and psychological pain. Having survived three brain tumors, two brain surgeries, three eye surgeries, and the health challenges that are the result, Adam knows that there are uncounted lives he can impact for the good, especially through the use of words. Adam has used his literary talent, combined with his desire to help, to aid others on their own journeys of life.

About the author

I’m Adam Scott Campbell, a 3x recurring brain tumor survivor, poet, fiction writer, motivational speaker, and believer in God. My writing is born from loss, illness, survival, and the belief that even in our darkest moments, we can make it through.

Before my fifth birthday, my baby brother passed away. A few years later, after a childhood accident, doctors discovered an astrocytoma brain tumor blocking the flow of fluid in my brain. That diagnosis began a lifelong journey through surgeries, double vision, recurring tumors, radiation, brain bleed, paralysis, and relearning how to walk.

*Embattled We: A Poet’s War* was written from the battlefield of that experience - a raw collection about pain, fear, faith, depression, and survival.

*Walking With My Angel* is the light that followed - poetic letters to and from the Heavenly Angel who saved my life in February 2010.

Together, these books tell the story of being held by heaven while walking through hell. I write for those hurting, healing, grieving, surviving, and searching.
