This book is a compilation of the Madman series written by Derrick Williams. As such it contains: Laments of the Madman (2nd Edition), Scribblings of the Madman and Inside the Mind of a Madman.
The idea behind the mad man is simple; WE are the entire madman. We have taken life's journey through valleys and mountains. We have experienced sorrow, pain, infinite joy and beauteous love. We have crippled ourselves at the expense of others while being crippled by others. The madman is the voice that seeks to do away with self-delusion. That strips us down to the bone and exposes us for what we are: human.
If you don't believe me, then you have not looked at your own life hard enough. The boulder that crashed into you was not enough to break you. The Poet Williams had his "aha" moment long ago and he writes to show others the path to accepting who you really are wonderfully human.
While some of the poems do appear more than once in this particular book, the goal is to tell a story. A story of the who, what, when, where and how it all went down. The story behind the story, the mask behind the mask, the truth underneath the truth. That is where the madman and you really are.
Dear Reader, enjoy your journey into the realm of the madman when you find yourself have a cup of chai and talk.
Regards,
The Poet Williams
