Avalanche of Souls

'All descend to a crevasse of fallen-hope, expanses are massive, our precipice-scope', when our lies become truth, what remains. Avalanche of Souls is a collection of epic poetry from American-Southern Author J. C. Bratcher. Experience intense and visceral emotion as each selection conveys both truth as well as hope, 'In a Potter's field of shame, I sob to say, no marker can portray the hobbling pain, of kneeling on cobbles to coddle the slain. ' The author captures facets of human behaviour which is universal through time and place, 'We are atrocious, we envision the blind to limit the focus, A cacophony-erosion, we deafen the mind to mimic the locust. ' The themes are often conflicting notions of love and hate, creating severe and poignant verses, 'The umbilical-ball of our indifference is malignant, how being indentured is contingent upon our pigment. ' The author is rooted in the approach of 'death informing life', as verses reflect, 'No Mother-of-Pearl can shelter the girl, no Canary diamonds are buried beside him'. Avalanche of Souls is an inspirational and unfettered view into the world, through the eyes of a poet.
