About the book: “Welcome to a wondrous display of

beauty, vanity, humor, and sorrow, a tragedy of squander and a comedy of enlightenment.”

James W. A. Desolation & Epiphany

In his sophomore title and first pure poetry collection, James W. A. explores the duality

found in the journey of one’s soul. Drawing from his own history, observations, and

imagination, he conjures the misery of younger days, the peace of more mature ones,

and the meanings of life and love in both. Found within these pages are stories,

musings, dreams, hopes, and emotions that show a progression from sorrow into joy,

and the shades of each in the other. Pour a glass, open your heart, and prepare to

venture forth with the titular concepts to experience for yourself the darkness of

Desolation and the triumphant elation of Epiphany.

About the Author: James W. A. was born, raised, and lives in the Tampa Bay area in Florida. After graduating from the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg’s Honors College, he

published his first book, In the Library, in 2015. Since then, he has honed his ever-

evolving, contemporary style, both creatively and as a professional content writer. While

moving away from the dark subjects of younger days, James W. A. seeks to use his

experiences, joys, sorrows, and wonders he sees in the world around him to lead others

to truth and beauty and share meaningful stories to last the ages. The author is available for interviews, readings, appearances, and features. For bookings and information, contact his publicist at chelseadevries@thesmartcookiephiles.com
