Produktinformationen zu „Evenings on the Edge of Death (ePub)“

"Evenings on the Edge of Death" explores the author's experience of growing up in a crucible of abuse, mental illness, and substance abuse.

The poems address his relationship with his father, mother, and sister. Topics include abuse, substance abuse, and suicide. The book also examines the author's difficulty in saying goodbye to his mother when she developed dementia.

The book is written within a larger context of adult trauma. In 2004, Mr. McDowell experienced a traumatic brain injury resulting from a car accident. After the injury, he went through an extended period of depression, mania, and substance abuse. These traumas serve as the backdrop and context for many of the poems.

The poems reflect an authentic, honest, and poignant assessment of trauma in the author's life. The emotions explored include grief, despair, guilt, shame, anger, hope, faith, and forgiveness.

Autoren-Porträt von Theodore McDowell

Theodore McDowell is a retired attorney who grew up within the family crucible of abuse, alcoholism, and mental illness. The poems in this collection explore the pain of this crucible and the later dementia of his mother. Evenings on the Edge of Death is also set in the context of the author's adult traumas. In 2004, Mr. McDowell was disabled from the practice of law as the result of a traumatic brain injury suffered in a car accident. The injury led to periods of depression, mania, and substance abuse. Since the accident, Theodore has published two previous books of poetry: Wrestling a Blessing from God and Yearning for Human Touch. These two collections deal with his responses to his traumas. He currently resides in Atlanta, Georgia and is married with five adult children and six grandchildren scattered across the United States.
