  • Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic language to evoke emotion, convey meaning, and explore ideas beyond the limits of ordinary speech.

    Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and often rhythmic language to capture emotion, shape meaning, and illuminate human experience in its most concentrated form. Through imagery, metaphor, and carefully chosen sounds, poetry transforms ordinary words into expressions that resonate beyond their literal definitions. It does not simply tell a story or present an idea; it invites reflection, allowing readers to engage with feeling, memory, and imagination at the same time. By embracing ambiguity and depth, poetry creates space for personal interpretation and emotional connection. Its enduring power lies in its ability to say more with less, turning language into an art that speaks directly to the inner life of the reader.

  • (Bonus Episode) Abstract Essay in its Fifth season, featuring Peter Gunn as my guest.

    Peter Gunn

    Poet/Author Peter Gunn

    U.S. Air Force vet, avid bodybuilder, lead guitarist for a band called The Angellics, coffee connoisseur, and poet who strives to bring epic poetry and literature craftsmanship back from the past.

    -At 7 years old, I had succumbed to heat stroke and experienced a brief NDE where an angel told me I had to go back because my job wasn't done. Ever since then, it has steered my life’s journey in a way to serve and give back to humanity.
    -At 12 years old, I had to deal with morbid childhood obesity.
    -Honorably served 20 years in the US Air Force
    -When I had my daughter in 2010 I wanted to enroll her into my love of classic poetry but soon saw that the feminine was left out of the hero's journey and decided to start writing The Amazons series to alleviate that discrepancy and I also invented LLP Linked -Lyrical-Poetry to bring a more modern feel to the story that will make it easier for Gen Z, and Gen Alpha to read.
    -In 2020, when Covid hit, it woke me up to how so many people are asleep in the world, so that is when I decided to start the Sigma Squad Graphic novel series. Which is based on ancient Gnostic gospels and texts about God splitting his angels into two halves one male and one female to exist in human bodies as entities known as Aeons and during Revelations, God decides to send a specialized more powerful group of Aeons to wage war on the members of the Deep State by killing them off one by one.
    -July 2025 I was asked to join a group of musicians from Germany after working with them on other projects to form a band. We are going to call ourselves The Angellics, and we are currently in production of our first album.

  • Abstract Poetry in its second session, features Dewy as my guest.

    Have you been craving something... aberrant? 


    Title Goes Here is a foolish adventure via a collection of curious stories and unusual styles. Through your journey, you will follow a fool's path to exile, hear from presidential candidate Sally McBride, and even learn how to be invisible. 


    First on your itinerary is a section of existential poetry that includes a sobering look at the true cost of watches and war. Next are five short stories that range from mildly funny to so abjectly bleak they warrant a trigger warning. Lastly, you are walked through original spells that provide an eclectic viewpoint of magical concepts such as summonings, immortality and the aforementioned invisibility in a surprisingly applicable and practical manner. Together, your expedition is one of disillusionment. 

    It is my hope that you will be a more foolish person after having read Title Goes Here.

    It uses carefully selected words to evoke emotions, capture moments, and provoke thought, transcending the mere act of communication to become an art that resonates with the depths of the human experience. Through various styles and forms, from the haiku to the sonnet, poetry explores themes as diverse as love, grief, nature, and social injustice, offering both the poet and the reader a means to explore the complexities of life and the subtleties of emotion. It serves not only as a mirror reflecting societal values and personal experiences but also as a window into the diverse cultures and historical periods from which it springs.

  • Abstract Poetry, now in its Second Season, features When Meaning Refuses to Be Explained, a contemplative exploration of poetry that resists clarity, closure, and easy interpretation.

    This episode invites listeners into a space where language is felt rather than solved, and where emotion, rhythm, and silence carry as much weight as literal meaning. By embracing ambiguity and abstraction, the episode challenges the instinct to decode every line, encouraging instead a deeper, more personal engagement with poetic expression. When Meaning Refuses to Be Explained positions poetry not as a puzzle to be answered, but as an experience to be lived—affirming that some truths are best encountered through intuition, reflection, and resonance rather than explanation.

    Autumn Williams

    Autumn Williams Poetry

    When the chronic illness I have, Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME), worsened to the point that I became mostly bedbound, I discovered poetry as a way to transform challenging experiences into universal reflections on time, loss, and hope. My journey from those first poems, to self-publishing a Kirkus-praised, #1 Best Selling poetry collection, "Clouds on the Ground" (released November 7th, 2024), and chapbook "WAVES", demonstrates the power of creative expression to find beauty in life's difficult seasons.

    I currently live in Texas with my husband and our children. Through my life experiences, I bring authentic conversations about resilience, the artistic process, and finding meaning through creative work. My accessible poetry and personal story resonate with listeners who are facing their own challenges, or are seeking creative outlets during difficult times. My interests include writing and reading poetry, listening to music, and spending time with my family.

  • (Bonus Episode) Book 101 Review, in its fifth season, features Jonathan Hutton Writer, paraglider pilot, rare cancer survivor as my guest.
    Jonathan Hutton

    Writer, paraglider pilot, rare cancer survivor


    I knew I wanted to learn how to fly after dabbling in skydiving 13 some years ago. The freedom of flying a canopy - being suspended in the air, seeing the world from a completely different perspective - changed something in me.


    In a similar way, living through a decade with recurrent and rare head/neck cancer has galvanized me to see life, work, priorities through a new lens. I had no idea I was even capable of writing a book, but I’ve come to understand that sitting with adversity, reflecting on the challenges in your life, that there’s healing to be found there. Healing - through writing, sharing, challenging yourself to do that big, improbable thing now - is something you can find, even if your disease has no cure. Life is short, so learn how to fly, whatever ‘flying’ is for you.


    I have learned so much about what goes into writing a book as a first-time author, what it’s like to hire and work with an editor, how the whole process will change you. I believe these stories will be useful to aspiring authors, people who are trying to find their voice, but uncertain on how to proceed.


    I am deeply fortunate to still be alive, having navigated not only rare, but life altering side effects from cancer treatment - unexpected outcomes that required reconstructive surgery. I tell many of these stories in the book, and speak freely about them in general, because I know just how unmooring having your body altered in this way can be. I’ve arrived at this place where I know more about free flap reconstructions than most, which is strange, but also inspiring; I am inspired by the providers who do this work, who understand the trade-offs and difficult recoveries their patients face.


    I’ve met a lot of cancer survivors over the years, people who have suffered, some who found cures, some who are still looking for healing and meaning amidst hardship. In our 4,000 weeks alive, which could very well be less, we have so many choices and pathways, so much vying for our attention. The stories we tell, the ones we listen to, our ability to be present, is a gift.
