Trudging / A Compendium of Lyrical Poetry

ISBN - 9781480225671
The poetic presence in this first volume trudges from the dark to the light while meandering through the grey areas in between; it occasionally pauses to reflect upon the present, the past, and the prospects of the future.                            
.A Mirage of Many Things
​
ISBN - 9781481071567
​
This second volume of lyrical poetry runs the gamut between poetic vignettes and dark odes of woe and ruin. The rhythmic flow and metaphoric parlance of these poems allow the reader an unobstructed view of the past, the present, and the future as interpreted from the dreams of a poet.            
Always Dreaming 

ISBN - 9781482728231
This third volume of lyrical poetry is a continuation of profundity plucked from a larger manuscript of nine-hundred poems written through the span of over forty years. Always Dreaming drifts from the vagarious pangs of everyday life to the treacherous undercurrents of love, light and the dark side.

The Vagarious Dimension

​

This anthology of poetry runs the gamut between immortal love and that of dark despair. These renderings speak of true love and love long gone, they prey upon those who dream of love and those who are lost to love’s dark expectations. The vagarious dimension of love holds nary a constant, for its impetus is a various as the whims of life. 

Prologue (A Poetic Mixture of Madness)

 

In this fifth volume of Gothic poetry, the chaotic creature of insanity takes control and guides the reader through miles of meandering madness. This volume renders the darkness that drives the muse of this poet who sees that life is lit more by the demons of despair.

This volume of poetry spans the time of fifty years. It is a compilation of various themes and poetry styles and drifts about between the light and darkness that come with the seasons of the year. Some poems have been previously published while others have been dredged from the dusty shelves of time.

This poetic treatise is the second volume of poetry from 1965 until 2016. Some verse was written during my youthful days in high school, thus the abundance of love poetry, and others written through the turbulent times of life.

                     ~ A Chapbook ~

This booklet of expressive free-verse has been executed from the poetic meanderings of James William Catt, who, while stepping into the light, has brought forth the variegated visions that have lingered with him in the shadows. Speaking loudly in the parlance of his poetry, he enunciates the world that passes in retrospect.

In the Shadows of Melancholy

(The Dark Imagery of Gothic Poetry)

From the Gallery of Gothic Verse, I have displayed here fifty-three poems that have arisen from the depths of melancholy; they have been accompanied by related portraits of death and darkness.
