French Red: Poems As They Are

Poems As They Are

Timothy's nouveau oeuvre d'arte explores his favorite subject matter, the beauty that is woman.

He wrote many of these poems while hiking in the French Pyrenees on a 500-mile long Camino Frances pilgrimage. At night bundling up warm against the frigid cold in refugios, fingers frozen stiff, he burned up all his matches to warm them. Thoughts of Janice and his unrequited love for her, provided inspiration for the title poem.

The French Red collection features more than fifty poems, many exclusive to the book. Timothy's raw and passionate poems reveal the longing of love and melancholy, delving into the highs and lows of doomed relationships, family ties, rabid sexuality and mental illness.
