Author: Jackson Durocher
About The Book
"Bear Stare Poetry" is the second collection of poetry written by Jackson Durocher. It spans the themes of love, loss, and depression. Jackson attempts to capture life through his eyes and craft his experiences in ways for the public to find their own meanings. "Bear Stare Poetry" expands on the realms of homelessness, death, grief, and addiction; all pieces of a field the author works in. Life is what we put meaning into and sometimes rose tinted glasses can fade, "Bear Stare Poetry" is not the monochrome opposite to make life bleak but instead the idea of perfect vision to grasp a world that is a mystery. Everyone will find their own meanings and some may throw this in the trash, this collection is what the people choose to make of it; nothing else.
About The Author
Jackson was born in Calgary, Alberta but soon moved to Edmonton at age 3. He spent most of his upbringing reading and writing random stories that came to mind, wanting to one day author a book of his own. He bases his inspiration off five individuals who sparked his curiosity in the literary world; Ryu Murakami, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan and Osamu Dazai. He self-published his first collection of poetry named "Poetry in a halfshell," a play on words for his indigenous heritage and a fun nod towards the ninja turtles. He decided to take a shot to publish under a company and soon found one quickly. He is working on a third collection at the moment titled "Songs from a monkey's violin" which plays off the theory of Shakespeare being written by an infinite amount of monkeys. He hopes to publish publicly again soon.
