Word Warrior: Killing Them Softly One Rhyme at a Time

For the first time, author Gene Strother releases a book under his own name rather than his pseudonym, L. A. Holly. This is a collection of poetry and prose, raw and real, and personal. Gene writes about life in the trenches, growing up lower middle-class and in a conservative Christian family in small-town Texas, his dalliance with pulpit ministry, toeing the line, crossing the line, marriage, fatherhood, friendship, loss, and love with all its gains and losses.
From the silly to the sublime, from heartbreak to heartache, laughter to tears, from dreamland to glory land. Gene writes, "At first, I was a Mockingbird, singing one song that impressed me, and then another.... But somewhere along the way, somewhere in the listening and the resonating and the emulating, I became. I emerged. A Nightingale."Join this modern-day Psalmist on a journey that is sure to take you back to special times in your life and on to the great unknown.
This is poetry. And most of it rhymes.
