Confessions: Brainstormin' From Midnight 'Til Dawn

Confessions: Brainstormin' from Midnight 'til Dawn is C. Liegh McInnis' second collection of poetry and his most personal. The attention to imagery is still there, but in this collection McInnis seeks to create images that evoke a catharsis in the reader. Though these poems address emotional and psychological pain and development, McInnis' metaphysics seem to take a backseat to his concern with tangible life; yet, by the end of the collection the reader realizes that McInnis' exploration of the tangible has been a symbol of his exploration of the psyche, especially in the matter of how our physical behavior is merely a metaphor of our inner self.
