Empty

Picture
"In Empty, David takes us through his most recent years of recovery; tying in stream of consciousness poetry, short stories, and what can only be described as poetic assaults on contemporary culture from different points in his sober history and different perspectives in his own mind. He attempts to bring you and perhaps himself, full circle, through the strange landscape of his recovering, yet damaged mind. Having worked in the same field as David for thirty years in Government service, I can say without reservation, 'His dedication to the truth, despite the cost to his career, the difficulty of sorting through his bias, and the full intent of placing it in front of us. Knowing full well that a small percentage of the population will even consider the facts, is something to be applauded even though the tendency will be to dismiss it out of our selfish desires to remain unconscious...' I will be placing Empty next to Head and Channel of The Broken Gun on my book shelf at work and I will be recommending it to clients; those who are in a confused state of self-assessment with their alcoholism/addiction, those struggling to comprehend the various stages of recovery, as well as those simply looking for contemporary stories with which to relate their own seemingly unique tragedies."
