Poems from the Third Rail

This all-too-real collection of poems is one man’s shocking account of a lifelong struggle with mental illness, substance abuse, and poverty. On each page, you will feel his sorrow and pain. In every poem, you will see his soul and witness the darkness and flickering glow of early recovery.

You will see the world through his eyes and his recordings of modern times. This diverse collection touches on faith, addiction, religion, mindfulness, philosophy, life, and his innermost thoughts on everything. He leaves nothing unrevealed.

This book is for anyone who suffers from the human condition, is sick and suffering, or is struggling to regain control of an aspect of their life that they want back.


And for all the people who just like watching trains crash

Over and over

Again
