R E DayThis three-book autobiography in poetry covers the first forty years of an unusual life. He begins as a soccer star and senior class president, who four months after graduation falls seven stories, who then in a wheelchair, writes, coaches, practicesKarate, and spends three years training to be shaman. Although Day is what Bob Marley calls "a natural mystic," like so many of his generation, he dealt with periods of partying too hard and exhibiting what seemed like self-destructive behavior. His first forty years - his spiritual journey, his loves, the dark side, all the near-death experiences, political, religious, and social commentary, his love of Nature and Mother Earth - it is a complex life revealed in poetry. Although Day began writing poetry in early adolescence, the first book begins his senior year and covers the next turbulent twelve years. The second book in the trilogy is a complete love affair and covers a couple of years. The third book is more or a normal poetry collection taking him to forty. Roy has attempted to make it almost exclusively poetry, but has supplied enough prose to provide context for the interested. Read More Read Less
