New Book by John Casey: RAW THOUGHTS

Adelaide, Australia, 2019-Aug-23 — /EPR Network/ —ADELAIDE BOOKS is proud to offer the latest work by John Casey: RAW THOUGHTS hitting stores everywhere on July 11, 2019.

In RAW THΦUGHTS, John Casey unfolds a compelling and viscerally honest exploration of mindfulness and spirituality through a symbiotic fusion of poetic and photographic art. A singular and provocative approach, Casey combines literary and visual abstraction into emotive and cognitive catalysts for introspection. Each successive poem-photo pairing—each ‘raw thought’—builds on an underlying philosophy that compels us to assess and adjust what and how we think, with the aim of improving our lives—and by extension, the lives of those around us.

“A splendid journey of pain and passion, light, discovery and flight, beautifully told in poetic and photographic imagery.” – David Wood, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author of What Have We Done and Beyond the Battlefield

“Casey offers us a new transformative experience in RAW THΦUGHTS. Each amazing photo-poetic construct is not just a set of images and words, but a therapeutic medium that touches the depths and heights of the human experience.” – Jason Z. W. Powers, MD, MAPP, Author of When the Servant Becomes the Master and Positive Recovery Daily Guide

“In RAW THΦUGHTS, John Casey gives us a glimpse into the heart and mind, melding both in a search for hope. His poems furnish the words, and the photography of Scott Hussey shows us the magic of the combination. Together, the poem-photo fusion delivers an ethereal duet of meaning worth exploring.” – Sheryl Nelms, Author of 21 books of poetry and four-time Pushcart Prize Nominee
