“Your gentle breath
upon my neck
as I discern
my whispered name.
A tender caress
with a feathery case
are the phantoms
that break my heart
and salt my checks with sorrow.”
-an excerpt from the book
Author Reputation Press has published a spectacular book of poems and narratives entitled “Musings” by J.R. Prince. This book is the author’s written thoughts, feelings, glimpses, and ideas from the journey of his life. “Musings” is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and the ARP website.
James Prince was a remote boy. His parents moved a lot, so he never got settled or made lasting friends. As with most loners, James found solace in other places. Fantasy realms and grand, imagined adventures were the center of his life as a child. In his teenage years and early adult life, the bottle became his best friend. He always liked to write short stories but never really got interested because English as an educational subject didn’t interest him.
After James saw the error of his ways, got sober, went to college, and took English as part of his curriculum, his writing began to flourish, thanks in part to his college professor, who made English interesting and fun. Thus, writing became his solace and the voice he never knew he had. At present, James lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with his wife, and they care for her sister, who has Down syndrome.
Each one of us has a unique way of expressing our unsaid thoughts. Some express it through painting, singing, or even writing, there are a lot of ways to say something that can’t be said. The author wrote a book that is imbued with a piece of his heart and soul. The words in his poems are more than just words; they are a glimpse of his inner being.
The short stories are the product of his wild, active imagination. And, as an introverted child looking for a way to say what he couldn’t, he discovered a loud voice that no one could silence.
