    About this ebook

    Philosophy for Depressives against Empirical Vampires is, on the whole, JMD's finest work yet. The style is more consistent and many of the poems exude subtlety and maturity. Poems otherwise are meditative. His brand of magical realism, populated with cameos from classical deities, places his modern narrative in the sphere of universal significance for Depressives everywhere in need of an updraft.

    Hiding in plain sight, behind a smile, weaving through fallen beams of sunshine surfing sidewalk, etching the ineffable along the edge of scintillating sea."Yeah, I love the beach, listening to music, my second favorite color is teal."I'm alive. I'm dying.
