Looking out my back door in Danbury, Connecticut

Welcome! A few years ago, I discovered an application that artists employ in their works to bring cultural awareness to their audiences. Having discerned this semiotic theory that applies to literature, music, art, film, and the media, I have devoted the blog, "Theory of Iconic Realism" to explore this theory. The link to the publisher of my book is below. If you or your university would like a copy of this book for your library or if you would like to review it for a scholarly journal, please contact the Edwin Mellen Press at the link listed below. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Poetry Jam: Better Living through Chemistry

This week's Poetry Jam prompt asks us to write a poem about medications. 
Below is my haiku:

Wise medication
prescribed with dedication
illumination

  2. i think there is a strong sense of relaxation here, too, beautifully unspoken.
    i think true moments of illumination are accompanied by a sensation of relaxation, now that i reflect on it after reading this. i really like this.

  9. Wise words but not so easy to find peace in this world. Sometimes people need a little help under Drs. advice. Nice words.
