My review of Inklings of a Restless Mind Book of Dreams, by Jesse Batista.


Inklings of a Restless Mind, Book of Dreams, is a montage of creativity both dark and light and a few gray areas in between.

Terrifically, hauntingly, and horrifically beautifully demented. Has a thin line crossing  of realistic and fantastic realities and actuallties.

Truthfully related to my own pyschological and existential angst as well as mention in his book.

Ravenously and rawly expressioning himself in every phenomenal thought-provoking, and mesmerizing artistic photograph, prose, and poem inside it.

Jesse Batista's talent is by far his own authenticity and uniqueness not mimicking or imitating anyone else.


Revieved my Eric Shelman.

Can You Dig Her?

 Can You Dig Her? Can you dig her original orchestrated rhythms and rhymes? Can you dig her harmoniously, harvested melodies? Can you dig her stupendously performed spoken words? Can you dig her thought-provoking and mind-blowing meanings? Can you dig her passion and devotion towards Archeology and Paleontology? Can you dig her love and giddiness she feels while excavating artifacts, bones, and fossils? Can you dig her willingness to help other poets and writers out by having had an online open mic night for the past fourteen years? Can you dig her demeanor of kindness, caring, and giving completely unbiased interpretations of those readers on her broadcast? Can you dig her supporting others like herself out of the kindness of her own heart? Can you dig  all of her creations not just her writings and spoken words like her wonderful custom-made costumes? Can you dig her listening to and thoroughly enjoying her favorite songs? Can you dig her not ever thinking that being a creator is a r

Helping A Friend Move On By Eric Shelman

 Helping A Friend Move On By Eric Shelman First time I ever done this for anyone Took a massive pay cut in order to help him transit was paid a short amount of money for doing so Never about the money It was about my love for him wanting to help him cross over  as peacefully and comfortablely as he could. I wanted him to know that I took care of him the last 42 days of his life. I would one day hope that someone Might do that for me whenever I get in his position near my departure of this world. From 4 pm to 10 am I was there caring for him in between his Visiting Angels and Hospice visits. We watched lots of horror movies All sorts of television shows Listened to his favorite music. Crying, screaming and wailing whenever he  watched the news he was too much of an empath wanting to solve all our world problems I told him if the news effected him That badly to just turn it off  he said no because he needed to know what was happening in the world. He told me that he was scared to die did

Virginia Stationed at the U.S. Navy in Norfolk Naval Station, for four years, I was. Mall rat my first two years, I was wandering around, buying whatever I wanted without a budget while listening to my favorite music blaring in my ears from a CD player. Went to local, and famous concerts every night except for my days on twenty-four hour duty days in port Not knowing who most of the bands were Moshed in pits Attending Warped Tour twice there. Saw several art museums Exihiting art from local, famous, and antiutity artists, was entranced by some of it. Went to open Mic nights in person at a whole in the wall coffee shop read and recited my poetry there met a beautiful singer/songwriter who tied on a singer/songwriter competition. Went to a secluded park with her where she sang a song about me that she wrote and she asked me to write two poems one on defining order, other one on chaos I wrote her a poem to and about herself called Gayla Robinson. Drank American and foriegn alochol every n
