Ruminating: A Collection of Poetry and Prose

Ruminating is a thought-provoking collection of poetry and prose from the mind of Quinton A. Clawson. The collection examines the realities of love, mortality, society, family, religion, and politics through a cynical microscope influenced by existential philosophy. Clawson provides forty-one poems and five short stories that are inoculated with a subjective perspective of the world we live in; terribly reminiscent of the verisimilitude of each person's every day thoughts and feelings. Through his poems and stories of anger, fear, and despair, we are encouraged by a silver lining of hope hidden within each line of suffering. Ruminating is for the thinker, who seeks to find meaning in the superficial details of the day. It is for the artist, who seeks to challenge the veil of society. It is for the lover, the fighter, and yes, even for you, the dear reader.
