Syzygy Poems of Essential Theory

Welcome to Syzygy. Thank you for choosing this book. This is the third book of poetry in Brad Dehler's repertoire, proceeding the books Cantus & Dose. A syzygy is an event where the sun, earth and moon align; metaphorically a time when we are aligned with our purpose- soul, body and mind. When, not only all is right, but when it is the time most opportune and we are to be ready. In regards to Troika Studios & Publishing: The vision of a guiding troika arose in Brad's mind while evacuating as a refugee from Hurricane Katrina. He embraced this concept as a driving force, as opposed to a passive beacon, in regards to developing his vocation. The significant reassessment of his location in Past, Present and Future; the use of Poetry, Painting and Drawing in his life -unfurled. Compared with other poets considered important to any canon- Brad does not pay, in any particular conscious way- attention to traditional use of rhyme, form or literary devices. Rather- the process is very subconscious and kept in very much its raw form. In this way, many trifectas turned triumvirates. Brad feels the importance and believes it is his calling to then share these words of revelation. In hopes they are a light in the dark; leading us through. A tool to help us advance, a foothold to help us grapple. All these things for US, Brad too must heed these challenges and remind himself of mission in compliance with truth. Appreciation, seeking truth- to serve others.
