Author Jonthan David has been solicited by poetry.com to submit an original piece of work to coincide with his previously published 'Guilt On Row' poem published in 2003.
May 30, 2004 (Press Release) --
'The International Who's Who In Poetry' will feature David's 'Guilt On Row' along with his latest contribution, 'Radio Edit', in addition to an author biography. David was asked to contribute given the recognition of his earlier accomplishments.
"I was shocked and flattered by poetry.com's request. When I wrote 'Radio Edit', I had just witnessed an inflammatory and intentional murder online, and I was horrified by the brutal reality of life. Beauty and horror are dependent in nature, and we all partake in its continuance, one moment being the first for some and the last for others. I am weary of the desensitized hypocrisy of today's attitude."
The esteemed author of 'The Enemy Mind' and 'Lucian Shadow' went on to say that "the path of our future leads precariously astray. 'Radio Edit' emphasizes my own failed attempt to create a beautiful world."
Jonathan David recently completed 'Lucian Shadow: Theory of Loravyre', the much anticipated sequel to 'Rise of Corlee', and he is diligently working on 'Payton Hidden Away' the first chapter in the growing saga of David's mysterious timeline. Look for 'Theory' to appear on bookshelves this winter.
"I sit in depressed sunshine and wonder about my good fortune. I am in awe of the bravery that surrounds me, yet I reflect on the consequences. My own complaints seem so trivial by comparison. That was the basis for the foundation of 'Radio Edit'. The sacrifice it speaks of is our lost innocence."
'Radio Edit' features a typical Jonathan David ending as a little girl finds humor in the act of burning a doll with a lighter. Symbolically, it emphasizes today's desensitized youth and touches upon the weakness of man in an indifferent if not boastful world.
