Meridian charts a uniquely aesthetic path via a symbiotic fusion of poetic and photographic art from the darkest of places to a place of light while addressing analysis and improvement of thought in a manner that, while sentimental, is more cognitive and more refined than most will instinctively endeavor to comprehend. This serves to awaken the mind to a better understanding of the thoughts of others, and of life in general.
JOHN CASEY is an award-winning novelist and Pushcart Prize-nominated poet from New Hampshire. He is the author of The Devolution Trilogy (a psychological spy thriller series), Raw Thoughts: A Mindful Fusion of Poetic and Photographic Art, Meridian: A Raw Thoughts Book, and Things of Little Consequence. His poetry has been featured internationally in numerous literary journals and magazines. He is passionate about fitness, nature, and the human spirit and is inspired by the incredible spectrum of people, places and cultures he has experienced in life.
“Meridian: A Raw Thoughts Book by John Casey taps into the depths of un-tempered emotions while challenging our conceptions of reality. It draws the reader in, voyeuristically. Each well-crafted verse left me feeling I was looking into someone’s soul, a soul torn to shreds by a life of untamed circumstances, explained beautifully in poetic form.
This book left me in awe of a talent that goes beyond the prosaic. I especially loved how Casey changes the mood between the ‘SIGHT’ and ‘SERENITY’ sections; a transition that filled me with the hope a heart needs to survive. Life is a battle.
To win, you must play the game with whatever nature has given you and John Casey's veritable talent could only have been given by the highest authority.”
