Depression

War is never over.

After years of service in foreign lands and nights haunted by memory, Will Harper returns home to a country he no longer recognizes—and to a self he scarcely understands. He thought the battle ended overseas, but the real fight begins when the uniforms come off.

Haunted by ghosts of conflict and guilt, Will’s fragile connection to family, love, and art begins to crumble. One night cracks everything—his marriage, his mind, his world. In the shards, he must pick up the pieces, face the darkness, and learn whether redemption is possible when the mirror of one’s soul lies broken.

Part poetry, part prose, Shattered Glass is a visceral journey through war, loss, and the fragile reconstruction of identity. With language as both scalpel and balm, Richard White tells a story of survival—not just of the body, but of the heart and the self.

“Here is a voice raw, unflinching—one that sees the wounds others try to hide.”

If you believe in the power of words to heal, if you believe that even shattered glass can reflect truth—this book is for you.

A Symphony of Nature, Friendship, and Inner Turmoil

In this evocative collection of poetry, Richard White invites readers on a deeply personal journey through nature’s fierce beauty and the raw terrain of the human soul. With the rhythm of crashing waves and the stillness of starlit skies, these poems echo the wildness of weather, the mystery of the sea, and the unspoken power of the natural world.

But beneath the calming winds and crashing surf lies a storm of another kind. Grappling with the shadows of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and addiction, White crafts verses that are both haunting and healing. Each poem becomes a lifeline—a whispered confession, a cry in the dark, a quiet reminder that even in our most broken moments, we are not alone.

Pirates sail these pages. Friendships rise and fall like tides. And amidst betrayal, loss, and quiet resilience, the story goes on.

Silence From The Darkness is more than poetry—it’s a testament to survival, the redemptive power of nature, and the unbreakable threads that connect us, even in our darkest hours.

In A Poet’s Quest to Find Tranquility, Richard White bares his soul in a deeply moving and unflinchingly honest collection that charts one man's emotional pilgrimage toward peace. Bringing together the complete works from Pages Full of Memories, Shattered Glass, and Speaking to My Depression, this volume captures the raw, resonant voice of a poet shaped by trauma, resilience, and the relentless search for inner stillness.

Each poem serves as a milestone—through grief, through healing, through the tangled mess of memory and mental health. With themes of depression, PTSD, loss, and self-reflection, White's writing speaks directly to the heart of anyone who has ever felt broken, unseen, or in need of solace. Yet amidst the darkness, his words carry a quiet strength and unshakable hope.

This collection is more than poetry—it’s a companion for anyone walking their own path toward peace. Vulnerable, reflective, and beautifully human, A Poet’s Quest to Find Tranquility is both an emotional reckoning and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is light to be found.

Poetry from the Ashes of a Fierce Life

From the trials of a turbulent childhood to the raw realities of becoming a teenage parent, Goyette pours her soul onto the page in a fearless act of survival and self-expression.

Each poem is a reflection of a life lived on the edge of pain and perseverance—a journey through loss, grief, abandonment, love, and the fire of emotional truth. With unflinching honesty and lyrical depth, her words tear at the heartstrings and speak to the wounds we often carry in silence.

Burning Soul is more than poetry—it’s a lifeline. A testament to the strength it takes to rise from tragedy, and a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is beauty in the burn.
