About the Author

 

J.D. Knight grew up in the Chicagoland area near the Fox River living there until the age of 25 when he relocated to Columbus, Ohio.  He has always been an admirer of blues style music frequenting various establishments near Wicker Park and Bucktown during the late 1990s.  He has been writing poetry since 1989 and draws inspiration from various artists including Wallace Stevens, T.S. Eliot, Robert Lowell, and Charles Bukowski.  He visits the Chicago area frequently as many friends and family still reside there.

The collection themselves concern a fictional dialogue with a once close friend who still remains in the Chicago area.  Themes of love, grief, loss, and struggle exemplify the attempt to idealize love in replacement of a spiritual underpinning almost disallowed by modern society.
