collection of poems written between 2018 & 2020, Archetype Degenerate was later designed, printed & handbound by the poet in winter 2021 following a move to Clementon, New Jersey.

a bit from the introduction:
"The darkest shadow can be seen as evidence of the brightest light—or one hopes anyway. These poems, scribbled between 2018 & 2020, document the degenerate archetype as it moved just below the surface of my days. It was a turbulent period, these couple years, a difficult period of great change & transformation, & like most humans when caught in the Belly of the Whale or lost in the crumbling labyrinth of changing Dreams: i too, at times, found myself coping in less-than-angelic ways. Unlike most humans, however, i contain the muse-haunted magic of poetry between my hat & boots — & make no mistake: there is something awfully magic about it. . ."
