"The Desert Stones" asks who am I? What is real? What lasts? It unveils the struggle for identity in real-time, including the internal strife between convention and originality-- often as though there are two, sometimes three, voices within the mind of the writer competing for primacy. The Wall, The Drama, The Stones, the Thief, and ultimately the Desert Stones, all are archetypes within this landscape where the soul searches for truth and belief. In the end, the narrator experiences an apotheosis of being in this starkly imagined world.

About the Author
This is Russell McGuire's second book. "The Desert Stones" stands alone as a poem of deep introspection and experimentation. His first book "Nebulae Cocktails"- a collection of poems, love songs and epiphanies, is available now in paperback on Amazon and in e-reader form on Kindle. While McGuire has worked for more than a quarter century on behalf of the copyright interests of America's songwriters and publishers, he has never stopped writing. He resides in Maryland with his wife of 37 years, Bethzaida Cordero McGuire. Their three daughters, Melody, Josephine and Kimberly are grown.

Buy This Book. It's Enthralling.
By Diane Marie Shatto
This poem inspired me to pursue poetry. When I first came across this poem many years ago I was a new poet and in an identity struggle. Since 10 years old and through my 20s I had read ferociously philosophy, psychology and theology in order to find meaning in my existence. The foundation of all I believed of how the world worked however was cracked by one encounter that made me realize perhaps the world was not something you could piece together through various theories and I no longer knew exactly where I fit and what I believed. Spending so much time reading Freud, other psychologists, and so much of the philosophy of Plato, Aristotle, existentialists, Kierkegaard, CS Lewis, Martin Buber- though it had all enriched my life, it had all come to a tragic end in terms of experience. After all it was just mortal men's thoughts, that often coincided with their own experience and then projected onto the world. I was tired now of looking for answers in books. I thought I would never in fact read again, until the day I discovered poetry- short discourses of thoughts that could often be read in less than a minute, but sometimes took awhile to unpack. It was a new way to convey and create meaning- through words, their sound and creativity, not just their definition and logical connections. The world of poetry exploded for me and I would spend days reading ordinary people's poems. I was so enthralled by how people communicated their experiences that I commented practically on every poem I came across on www.allpoetry.com. I didn't care if it was a sophisticated sonnet or a poem filled with unintentional spelling errors- both were brilliant- both were people attempting to send out a message - to say something that came from the center of their own passion, perception experience and understanding of life. I realized that we are ALL without exception poets, just like we are all without exception theologians (which would be another review). Poetry is everyone's lifeblood. If people can not hear you or can not acknowledge you in the logical world, they can in the poetry world-someone will get every word you are saying and will be able to relate to it. Others will take your words and give them new meaning based in their own experiences. But as a poet you will have been the catalyst to give the reader the means to verbalize what was lying silently within them. That is what Desert Stones did for me.
When I first discovered poetry, I first discovered this poem. I was very intimidated by it. To me it was a poem way beyond my ability to craft or understand yet I went back to it time and time again. It enthralled me, it drew me in because it gave me words for the collapse of my own inner world and the struggle of meaning in the outer events of my life. It gave me the words to express the world of darkness that is so shrouded in light that many people just will not admit to it. Today, this darkness can not be denied. This poem exposes that darkness. And yet it doesn't leave us without hope. There are archetypes we can cling to. We need to know about the darkness because it can choke us. It can disguise itself as light, when it's roots are darkness. The shadows and the fear we experience in those moments of anxiety are real. But once we expose the roots if darkness as ignorance, we are free from it. It's around us, we may even be forced to live in it, but it can not hurt us, because the root of us is light and true light dispels darkness of its power. We can walk through it without being afraid. We look back through our journey of darkness, we can walk through or desert moments and realize just how parched and thirsty we were. We are left with our own experience. We are left with the divine.
Both of these elements pour themselves out in poetry. Every philosopher, theologian, psychologist, man, woman and child is a poet. Poetry makes sense of life, it makes sense of me. You may never understand this poem- this allusiveness of its meaning is fully intentional by its author, but you will find profound poetry in reading this. Let your own experience be seen through it, and let the poetry speak to you. It will, and you will come away with a richer experience and understanding of yourself and the world around you as well as an inspiration for poetry. If you are looking for hope, you will find that which you can cling to. You will be able to distinguish the darkness from the light, the fleeting from the eternal. There IS danger as the book so poignantly warns but there is wisdom, strength and hope. I do not think the author will mind if I reveal the outline of the book. It will show you the exciting highs and lows of journey that awaits you. It's like listening to a concerto- it will captivate you if you can hear and visualize it's music and story. And don't be afraid to take it a part and just see each sentence as poetry and how each was created- that is how you will grow as a poet.

Another wonderful edition of Russel McGuire's poetry. Worth reading over and over.
By Mike Halloran
Mr. McGuire's poems are easy to read in silence yet sound good when read aloud. The Desert Stones is no exception.
I like the arrangements on paper (or Kindle). They are interesting to see and challenge the brain. This makes them worthy of repeated views and invite the reader to reinterpret.
I have this in paper and it is a lovely read.
Like "Nebulae Cocktails", I had a problem viewing the layout on my Kindle at first. A recent update to the Kindle.app has fixed the problem and it now reads as the author intended, much to the benefit of the reader. This is good as my wife has absconded with my print copy and I may not get it back.
Like Mr. McGuire's other works, this is a part of my permanent library. I shal enjoy reading these again. Well done!
