The voice is fresh, the imagery exact, and fascinating. Now, perhaps, visiting someone's darkness is not for you, perhaps this would not be for the timid, those who enjoy light verse or common poetry. Yet it is for exactly those reasons I found this collection a very worthy read, indeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrian was born into Scorpio on a cold November evening in a prior century. He grew up in California with a fascination for nature, wildlife and especially the ocean. After high school he worked a series of manual labor positions, various and nondescript. He enlisted in the Army in 1991 during the build-up to Desert Storm. Somehow he attained the rank of Sergeant and served as a gunner on a M1A1 tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Following military service he returned to California and eventually earned a Master of Science degree in Environmental Science from California State University, Fullerton, a degree he has never applied to any practical use. For years after he worked in animal sanctuaries helping rehabilitate exotic animals rescued from abusive environments. Currently he operates his own facility helping domestic and exotic animals recover from abuse and abandonment. Any animal that has passed away from old age or infirmity is buried on the property and visited every evening. Brian is a born-again heretic and an avowed neo-Marxist. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Brian K. Turner's literary interests began by reading the work of Edgar Allan Poe when he was a young person.
