Anthromalia - a place, an idea, a longing and a fight for freedom, peace, and harmony where humans and evolutionarily developed animal species can live alongside each other without fear and war. Without a distinct protagonist, we are taken on an exploration of the complexities of war, love, family heartbreak and above all else - loyalty. Loyalty takes these characters above and beyond what they thought possible, fighting for, or against the de-evolved human species. Many animals see the kindness, the complexity, and the love that humans are capable of, but others despise their history and the way that humans treated animals for millennia. Written through excerpts, memories, letters and recollections, this story provides a complex insight into another reality at a point in time where everything is at stake.
In this poetry collection, Wayne Brash expertly crafts many beautiful pieces that explore individual yet universal themes, such as being a father, being a son, hoping to leave an impact upon the world and the finite nature of time and life. The clear unique voice that delivers this collection's strong message paints a picture of his life and innermost thoughts, clearly inspired by his immense love for his close family - something many can relate to. Written in a confessional style with a clear flair for language, Wayne Brash pieces together his thoughts and emotions in a way that feels truly familiar, even if one has never experienced what he describes.Exploring such themes with eloquence and imagination, Everything for Somebody is an affecting collection of personal poetry that pushes boundaries of form, reflecting many all-embracing experiences.
Amid the Second World War, two people from opposing cultures meet and fall in love, to the disgust of all those surrounding them. David, a young Chinese man, falls in love with Laura, a beautiful blonde woman whom he thought he had no chance with. David's past refuses to die however, and David must fight for his love with all he has. A touching tribute to the author's parents, this gripping tale fills in the blanks and shows the lengths people will go to separate lovers under the guise of bigotry, and just how much work went into supporting this forbidden love.A heartfelt story of bi-racial love in the 1940's. Although society still has room for much improvement, it was trailblazers like my grandparents who laid the foundation for society to love more freely, love whom we want, and without regard to the color of skin. It also points out that bigotry is not exclusively a White Man's game. (Christopher Scott Bell, Son and Nephew to the Fong Family.)
