The Plight Of Grievance

I invite you to witness the emergence of a poet and let yourself be taken by my Plight of Grievance. This is the first anthology of poetic tragedies which recollects a journey through my evolution as a poet and artist. Long since I can remember I always had a contrastive way of interpreting life, love, hate, religion, and politics. It was in high school where I developed an inner voice that engulfed me with a plethora of monochromatic ideologies and artistic visions. Poetry was one of the strongest methods of journaling what thoughts roamed inside my mind.

It is through the WolfSaint Chronicles, where I hope to begin a long legacy of poetry encased with a few hand drawn illustrations as well. The word WolfSaint was created to describe two different parts of me. The saint describes me, and the person that I currently am; a father of two, husband to a beautiful wife, and a dedicated worker. The wolf side is the silent artist, and writer that only a few people know me as.

The poems in the beginning of the book are raw and unsettling. Channeling thoughts to words and poetic rhymes were difficult at first. Yet over a period of time and hundreds of verses, the flow of each poem became more fluent and visually comprehensible. Perhaps there will be other plights that I will be inspired to write in the future yet, for now I will leave you these verses to get to know the real WolfSaint.
