Wisdom For Debris

In 2013 I successfully funded a book entitled, “Wisdom For Debris” on Kickstarter. It was released in May of 2014.

“Wisdom For Debris” is an art book of sparse words and introspective pictures. The loosely structured “story” offers poetic snippets of philosophical memories following the idea of the loss of a child’s imagination as he or she grows old. Picture a civilization of imaginary friends migrating towards a great emptiness that rides on the shoulders of adulthood. A sort of yesterday’s best friend fading into tomorrow’s forgotten memory. An existentialist search for meaning as the end draws near. Wisdom For Debris is a comfortable place to rest one’s tired eyes and take in lost thoughts.

This book is currently out of print as I sold out of all the copies that I made. Thanks to everyone who supported the campaign and helped bring it to light. Click here to visit the project on Kickstarter.

despite the illusion of sequence and form

such ideas are often whispered with tired voices

haunted by the promise of an unknown passage

held up to set fire to the black that surrounds closed eyes

gathered by those less reserved in their theories

lost enough to listen or quiet enough to hear

far away amongst a tide of comforting noise
