About the Book

Poems in different genres about working class jobs; love and lust; nature; stories and characters; discrimination against women and men; GLBT issues; violence in society; family, and much more selected from years of writing. THE BACK STORY: Disarm Poems either make themselves clear or they don't and if they don't that's often the artist's intention. Why you write them is because you write. Throughout my life I usually preferred to write poems because I like how simple and to the point they are. I usually don't like "abstract poems"; I think an artist's job is to communicate, so I do. I actually have something to say, I don't just have too much time on my hands (and want to waste yours). In my teen years I wrote songs as well. I used to live in L.A. and entertained the idea of writing songs for others. I also read a few books in my teens about music industry business and law basics and used to design album covers and art direction and write music video scripts. I liked the idea of being the behind-the-scenes power for a band, but that didn't work out in the end due to artists' flakiness when trying to make actual plans, and the fact that in the end I just wanted to leave L.A. and go home to my beloved Oregon and its general greenness (at least in the northwest part; part of Oregon is a desert and touches Nevada of course.) I found submitting poems for publication to be a better use of my time because I didn't have to try to rely on others to do it so it would actually get done. For the photo art direction I chose a 13th Century castle in Ireland that in places is slightly falling apart, marked by partially undone barbed wire, surrounded by beautiful nature. The author photo is me in Oscar Wilde's childhood home, also the cultural center of American College Dublin, my alma mater, where I took some writing classes for my electives; one about short stories taught by Sean O'Reilly and two about script writing (for theatre and film) taught by Roger Gregg and Ferdia MacAnna. The male writing tutors was an interesting change of pace for me since most of the writing workshops I'd done before had been led by women. The college is actually a somewhat inappropriate setting given that I wrote most of the material in the book before I was ever in college. But I had the extra photo from a few I took to get a good one to update my LinkedIn profile with a post-graduation picture. (And I've since changed my LinkedIn photo again to a photo taken in a different place in Dublin, and with a different look.) So, I just had this extra, spare, nice photo in a beautiful historical building. (From the back page of my website: http: //www.avacollopbooks.weebly.com)
