Midnight in the Desert is the second volume in the Breakfast in Memphis poetry series. These poems are a stark, haunting, midnight walk through the dark, toxic, human-created wasteland that once was known as the Garden of Eden. The poetry is a raw, unfiltered description of the myriad of evils inflicted on humans and nature by the unconscious, aggressive, vicious, and greedy behaviors that have dominated human societies for most of known human history. The devastation is nearly total, and constitutes a Code Black for humanity requiring an activation of heroes willing to step into the darkness and find the light needed to unlock a chance for survival. Midnight in the Desert also explores the emotional and existential vapor trails of one man's search for understanding love, forgiveness, redemption and some kind of roadmap to a better future.
