Proud Gods and Commodores: Assorted Poems and Epic Tales (Volume 1) by James McMillan
Debuting author invites readers to immerse themselves in an enthusiastic weaving of poetry and narrative. … Alternating between booming classical mythologies and contemporary accessible voices… - Kirkus Review McMillan immerses the reader in multiple styles of poetry and epic tales, plus characters that leap into life and all its consequences, from despondent even suicidal, to discovery, to mystery, to love, and sometimes even to absolute triumph, plus a healthy dose of what he calls “gnarly Haiku,” trying to compress so much into so little. … A topsy-turvy view of pop culture and literature in the grand tradition of Surrealists and Dadaists… - Kirkus Review His style is not poetry nor narrative nor stream-of-consciousness, but one he hopes to carry the reader as if on a river, faster and slower, with twists and turns, and maybe a few rapids just for the hell of it.

All you need to know about me is that I am a practicing Chiropractor here in Modesto, California, now for forty-fi ve years and still practicing. Over that time I have laid hands on people therapeutically more than 250,000 times… more or less… that’s a quarter of a million… boggles my own mind… So many of them now grown old and gone… And now I see their children, grandchildren and even a few great-grandchildren…that too boggles the mind…forces me to contemplate life and death — body, mind, and spirit — and the meaning of it all. That’ll keep you awake at night, like trying to gather up quicksilver in a chem lab.
