About the author
Paul B. Morris
12 books15 followersPaul B Morris is a writer who hails from Walsall in the West Midlands, although he was created somewhere up North.
His stories lean towards dark fiction, horror and the strange, drawing focus from the dark reality of life. His poetry is also predominantly bleak and he apologises for that.
After falling in love with the work of the great Shakespeare, Morris has also drawn inspiration from Lewis Carroll, Stephen King, Graham Masterton and most notably, Michael Marshall Smith, who is still his favourite author.
In the realms of normality, Paul B Morris is happily married to an Angel, has four children who constantly get the better of him and wishes that he had the time to care for a pet bat. He owns two red t-shirts that don’t suit him.

This is a stunning, moving collection of poetry that reflects on the darkness and light of life. There is a great selection of poets and style of poetry on show, from all over the world, and there is a real sense of different voices and frames of reference that makes it all the more interesting.
Naturally, there are poems that deal with the darker side of things, and at times these can be tough to read. But it is vitally important that these things are talked about, both as catharsis for the poet, and to raise awareness in the reader. I was in awe of so many poets who had the strength and bravery to deal so openly and honestly with such difficult topics, so many of which are still shyed away from. It is a universal truth that the only way to deal with any problem is to first bring it out into the light. I can only hope that this book goes on to do just that.
I thoroughly recommend this book, not only because it is a wonderful selection of poetry, but also because the profits from each sale are going towards the charity MIND.
(I am honoured to be included in this collection of poetry, but please believe me when I say my appreciation of this book is built soley on the quality of the other poets featured.)

Great collection of poetry written around the theme of Darkness and Light. Contributions offer insight into the world of mental illness and touch on the joy of human existence. Profits donated to Mind.
