TheWriteWarrior presents God's First Pen: Pinecones & Spaceships Book Five

Book Five of Pinecones & Spaceships, THEWRITEWARRIOR presents GOD's FIRST PEN: A Collection of Poetry, Prose and Art, details the ongoing evolution of Dwight Thompson as a poet, essayist and story-teller. Opening with the first four lines of the eponym piece God's First Pen, declaring the author's purpose and desire to follow His plan, to the closing of a deep bass, voice driven Sidelime Dreaming, reflecting on the intimacy and purpose of faith in an everyday life, there is interwoven a belief in and longing for home, community and love. Essays like Blackatrack and Christmas Cheer, the Prayer of a Broken Black Man, along with the poems Membah Dis? and Derivative, further demonstrate the passion and philosophy that can exist between melanin and faith.

This is an example of the rich Caribbean culture, where natural foods, oral traditions, social gatherings, religious discussions, apolitical musings and politricks are a stock and parcel of everyday life. Mother Nature and Father Time are the backdrops, the catalyst through which anyone can find the words to write and the courage to stand within their story, even when the struggle has too many defeats and not enough victories
