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!

Boston

I wrote this verse shortly after the day that Boston endured an explosion at the Boston Marathon on Freedom Day. On that same day, just minutes before the explosion, the Kennedy Library archive section experienced a fire. Hmmm...coincidence? Perhaps. Perhaps not.

Boston

A city
like many others
with Freedom under attack,
but citizens
fight back.

One by one,
they
draw from strength
draw from courage
draw from love
of one another
drawn from God.

Then they withdraw
the venom 
from those who draw too often
from the wellspring
of hospitality.

So, these patriots grow
in strength:
Boston Strong!
