Review of The Closet Clandestine

My poetry book - The Closet Clandestine, just received a 4 star review from Rainbow Reviews as follows: "I read poetry by "dipping" - the book lies by my bed, and I dip at random, reading one, maybe two before bed. In this way the pleasure is extended, it can take months to read through a volume.... Sign in to see full entry.

Distributive Characterization – Luke Oliver Manifested

There are many ways to develop a character, the most accepted, through the heroic arc, where the protagonist journeys and experiences events, people and obstacles. Thus, the protagonist grows.
