O’Leary’s new collection is a frank, unflinching follow-up to 2017’s successful DICK CHENEY SHOT ME IN THE FACE.

Through play, we become fully ourselves.

In this first book of his Ten Tough Problems series, David Madison shares three critical problems in Christian belief. Problem One: God is invisible and silent. This fact forces humanity to rely on ineffective ways of knowing God — common knowledge, sacred books, visions, prayer, personal feelings, and theologians. But all these sources of God knowledge fall short as evidenced by a world of disagreement, not just between Christians and other religions, but within Christianity itself.

I wrote a fair number of poems in my younger days, saved and placed in a folder titled “King Among the Prawns”. Now that I’m self-publishing my more recent books, I decided to let these out for a ramble. Some of them I'm quite proud of, and some are fairly naff. They exist as a window on a time in my life when I was näive but learning. Along with these are a second batch, inspired by the trauma and after-effects of my brain hemorrhage and stroke in 2009, and a mental health poetry group I was introduced to shortly after my stroke; great therapy!
