Bøger af Dustin Pickering

Dustin Pickering, author of The Daunting Ephemeral, composed a notebook of poems on the week of his birthday. This book is part of a series that includes all of the poems. The poems are gothic meets beatnik, fate meets rebellion against destiny, rage and protest, and finally love gone terribly wrong.

NadaDada Motel is an artists-in-motel experience based in Reno, Nevada. The motto expresses the basic idea: get a room, make a show. This issue of Harbinger Asylum, a nationally recognized poetry publication, we celebrate NadaDada and the freshness it inspires. The publication includes writings and images by NadaDada participants. For this issue we have filled 70 pages of poetry, writing, and photos to introduce the reader to a whole 21st Century look at art exhibition. This is new, this is fresh, this is pure. NadaDada Motel has even inspired entrepreneurs to begin their careers. The event has also been featured in the New York Times. Take a minute to order a copy today!

The Daunting Ephemeral explores the quirky and creative side of life, and embraces spirituality from a humanistic worldview. Pickering misappropriates the language of religion and some of its history to ask the reader if our conceptions of the divine are overly simple, and if we can embrace awe and mystery without compunction. Pickering's first full-length collection of poems also includes The Vanishing Point, a short chapbook published in 2012. The author pursues questions most people are afraid to ask: "If God exists, why do I not believe?" The Daunting Ephemeral will not answer life's mysteries, but it will provide a backdrop for curiosity, imagination, and struggle. It will ask the reader to stare deeply into the eyes of the Unknown-- and ask if it is truly the Unknown, does it truly know it is?

Our primary mission is to bridge truth and relevant information gaps between the haves and the have-nots as we liberate people from ignorance of what is happening around them and beyond borders.
