This collection is the admonition “To walk a mile in someone else’s shoes.” represented in written form. Memories of shining moments and dark corners. In John’s pursuit of happiness and peace of mind. With a desire to live in tune and leave behind a residue of humanness.

“Poetry seizes a human being and creates an instrument. The poet is not simply a person acting freely, in pursuit of a merely private end, but one who allows poetry to realize its purpose through poems. Poets have moods, personal aims, free will, but as poets they are bearers of a collective humanity, carrying and shaping the conscious and unconscious life of our species. Poetry is an unexplainable mystery. No amount of critical analysis by academics, scholars, and poets can sufficiently describe poetry. Poetry must be experienced to be known. To know a poem we must dance to the edge of then into the fire. John Drudge is an instrument of poetry. He has danced in the fire. He is a poet. His A LONG WALK is a masterpiece.”
