Halo: The Story Behind Depeche Mode's Classic Album Violator
'Halo' goes behind the scenes of Depeche Mode's 'Violator' era - a biography and oral history from those who were there behind the scenes as this seminal album was created.
Water the Rocks Make
The poems of Water the Rocks Make commit into words the turbulence of emotion and thought stirred up by life’s events: family trauma, psychiatric instability, the legal system, the death of a loved one, identity, cultural displacement, work, loss, creativity, and through everything, love. Set primarily in Alaska, where author David McElroy has lived most of his life, the real action in these poems is in thought—the mind coming to terms (words) with consciousness, the mixing and rendering of reality and imagination. McElroy delves down the many rapid turns toward meaning through these contemplations on personification of a long-tailed boat in Asia; Adam tasked with naming the creatures; synthesizing the agony of accident, disease, and death; Descartes musing about an oilfield bridge; the excitement of sensual love; or the history and creativity emerging from a landfill. There is sadness here, but through the rigorous manipulation of imagery, rhythm, and sound, Water the Rocks Make strives to “...contribute their daily/ details in our remarkable trick of happiness...to rise from the mulch/ of dreams like seedling teak goofy with life/ and floppy leaves.”
Just Between Us
Just Between Us is a celebration of the vivid human connections that occur when traveling through some of the world’s most stirring landscapes. David McElroy, a former pilot in the far north, transports us from the Arctic to the tropics, over rural and urban lands, and even into the landscape of dreams. Throughout his verse is a sense of longing and the desire for intimacy, showing that despite our diverse lives, we are all driven to share our existences with one another.
