Produktbeschreibung

Synopsis: The works in Pieces of Mind contain tributes to those who have had or continue to have a profound impact on my life. There are also many takes on the tumultuous world we now live in, including politics, media, and general societal behaviors. As you read these poems, my hope is to provoke thought. I like to think of this book as full of healthy skepticism. Opinion is intertwined within the poetry, and I do not expect everyone to agree with what I offer. But if they get you to ask a question or two of yourself, then I have made a connection somehow, someway.

Autobiography: For Russ Haddad, 57, also known as A.A. Winston, poetry became his way of coping with life's ups and downs. He has had a full range of life experiences, starting with the death of his father when he was 12 years old.

When not writing poetry, he is the director of strategic partnerships for the NC Craft Brewers Guild. His professional background ranges from marketing operations through a variety of positions in radio, journalism, tourism/economic development, and a series of public service positions. Since COVID, he rediscovered his enjoyment of putting words on paper to express himself. He published his first book, Growth, in early 2023.

Growing up in Massachusetts, he now lives in Durham, NC, with his wife. They have one son who lives in Boston.

Autorenporträt

Russ Haddad, also known as A.A. Winston, has had a full range of life experiences, starting with the death of his father when he was 12 years old. He was not one to show his feelings, thinking that stoicism was manly. But he always had a love for writing. He turned toward poetry accidentally, dipping his toes in the genre during high school. The author realized that it was becoming his emotional outlet. Poetry became his form of coping through life's ups and downs. He took a long hiatus from writing poetry as he embarked on a variety of professional pursuits from radio to journalism to community development and personal changes from divorce to remarriage. A.A. rediscovered his enjoyment of putting words to paper to express himself and decided to publish his works to share feelings in hopes others relate.
