Do you sometimes struggle to fit in or make sense of the world and the happenings that affect your life? Join poet Michael (Mike) Amado as he explores the human condition and faces mortality and himself through the verse of Poems: Unearthed from Ashes. A multi-ethnic poet, Amado creates a world of images and puzzles influenced by his Capeverdian, French, Scottish, and Native American heritages. These poems embody Amado’s struggle with illness, the triumph of the human spirit, and the process of writing itself. Using gothic images and spiritual metaphor, he explores the wonders and mysteries of nature and seeks the “something else” that lies beyond what we see and feel in this world. Join Michael (Mike) Amado on his journey to find himself in Poems: Unearthed from Ashes.
