The Duck Theory is a collection of poems that actually combines three smaller works. Each work represents a chapter. The War Within is a collection of poems which reflect the constant personal “tug of war” dynamic that the author faces. It encompasses and highlights many aspects of the author’s life, and inner most thoughts and feelings on many topics over the course of nearly a decade. “The Lost King” encompasses realistic fiction mixed with personal narrative as a means to tell one cohesive story with caveats to relatable topics and scenarios. The story is a captivating blend of more traditional/historical ideas of the understanding of the role of a King and the life of the modern man. Blood in the Water plays on the idea of navigating through a world of intricacies and depth, in search of one’s desired goal(s), much like a predatory shark following a trail of blood to reach its prey. The duo addresses aspects of life while on the path to their own metaphorical prey; success.
