    About this ebook

    The Rage of the Aphelion is a collection of poetic works that typify the world as it is within these trying and ever-changing times of economic disparity, and the very glorification of our presence on Earth as we move into the most advanced stage of economic awareness and technological consciousness since the Age of Enlightenment.

    Jeffrey B. Holl has captured a certain strength of awareness that does regaleyet vilifyour culture as we show a pronounced reluctance to celebrate the human race within a society more driven by equality that moves to secure a place for each and every being on Earthnot only the chosen few.

    While still within a world that struggles to assert its independence from the sources of control that limit future endeavors of the generations that will follow, Jeffrey finds himself transfixed by the very notion of creating works that will compel people to persevere in the struggle to accentuate their own outlook within the notion that life is not a futile endeavoras suchand can be a more formidable attempt at constructing a veritable fortress of thought so as to defeat these hidden quantities that disassemble the nature of those that stand for the concerted effort to make this planet a more acceptable place for all that inhabit it.

    Only throughout the power of language and its art will this become a possibility as we move forward into an uncertainyet determinate futureutilizing the power of free will to outline an outcome that will allow us to survive and enlighten our sense of being with the knowledge necessary to perpetuate a positive outcome for the human race.

    Jeffrey B. Holl

    Jeffrey B. Holl is a secret quantity in the literary world as yet, but has published two collections of poetry—Poesicosophy and The Beings of Consolation—before this one that have been artistic successes. Jeffrey does await the day when the world changes and poetry comes to the fore once again; but until that day comes, he will continue to work diligently to further causes in the world that precipitate earnest literary and artistic pursuits that harness the connectivity that we all share when we engage ourselves with a world that is broken—but can be repaired in actuality, and also within consciousness—as a method of garnering future development of the human race and all creatures great and small that populate our planet—so as to preserve the ecosystem but also to perpetuate a healthy and prosperous environment for all living things. While still within a world that struggles to assert its independence from the sources of control that limit future endeavors of the generations that will follow, Jeffrey finds himself transfixed by the very notion of creating works that will compel people to persevere in the struggle to accentuate their own outlook within the notion that life is not a futile endeavor—as such—and can be a more formidable attempt at constructing a veritable fortress of thought so as to defeat these hidden quantities that disassemble the nature of those that stand for the concerted effort to make this planet a more acceptable place for all that inhabit it. Only throughout the power of language and its art will this become a possibility as we move forward into an uncertain—yet determinate future—utilizing the power of free will to outline an outcome that will allow us to survive and enlighten our sense of being with the knowledge necessary to perpetuate a positive outcome for the human race. Jeffrey lives in Winnipeg, Canada working diligently at contemplation and writing to further the aforementioned causes he so desperately believes in.

      of Johanna Gorsline

      March 7, 1919 – July 12, 2010

      An Act of God

      Where the somnambulist cowers

      At the helm of a forgotten truth;

      So seldom does the blessing empower,

      While the disaster does forsooth –

      At the crest of the moments

      Given from the outside

      From the corners of the mind…

      This will shed nothing if not the light of doubt

      Upon the seldom willing to find –

      The ground shifts as the spirits lift

      Through the anguish and embittered disgust;

      An eruption of power has arrived –

      And vanquished is the trust; –

      Where often the visionaries do comprehend,

      Blessed are the fates upon whom this truth does descend –

      Conquered in the vagaries of a triggered descent, –

      Heaven’s faith upon a promise where no promises were meant;

      A tempest in disguise for the free from the arguments –

      Out of the cold, as buried within the cement;

      Concrete promises of torment,

      Elegant disguises and tumultuous fears –

      So seldom given to the acquisition of adulation

      That stands in the waiting;

      For a faith-filled recompense

      That knows no consequence or hating –

      The mystical savages are all fortressed

      By their own negating; –

      Youthful chance-driven occurrences

      In the absolute of the fading, apocalyptic trance

      That sheds its light upon the mirror

      Of a glimpse into an eternal making, –

      From the starlit boundaries

      Of a consciousness relating,

      Into the myriad of doubt that knows

      No place in the world but this address; –

      Upon expression’s promise and demand

      Comes forward the caress;

      By a supreme and radiant hand

      The Denial

      Through many splendored memories

      I have tasted the blood of the enemy –

      Upon the vastness of orchards and vineyards

      Came forward the very alchemy

      Of a certain divination of being, –

      For truth is trust when it has fallen

      To the wretched and demon-possessed;

      Nothing, if not everything is given

      To take upon us the rest:

      The subterfuge from a Nation’s calling

      To utter never a word

      But to offer up a guess; –

      With this, I suppose,

      I will be leaving this place with nothing as well;

      Or I will take upon myself a heart of vengeance

      And offer up a thrill;

      To the hate seekers that devour the spirit’s intentions

      With an unabashed and fallen will –

      Something rests upon the denial of any such species

      As would
