Books by Tavius Dyer

Tavius Dyer looks at the parts of himself he hasn't wanted to look at--those hiding in the shadows--and brings them into the open for re-integration. The poems move from darkness to recovery by creatively exploring a self sometimes reluctant to step into the light. Near-death experiences, incarceration, divorce, and the loss of an only child are motivations to finding the other side.Shadow Work brings a message of hope and strength to anyone who might be struggling with similar issues, or those who know someone who is. When we learn from our mistakes and help others, we turn our darkness into light and love.Table of ContentsShadow Work Must Everything Rock Bottom Renaissance Karaoke Killer Telephone Holiday White Minority Love Made Me Pen Point Creative Expression Is Self-Exploration At a Café Adult Children Separation Anyone's Neighbor Who Knew Death of a Dream Noise Makes Heard Single Mother To Date a Poet Each Moment Ghost of Dreams Realized Life and Death Depressed Fight Club Romancing the Stoned Hitchhiking to Heaven Blues Undone Fade into You Grief and Loss Too Many Stories We All Lose People We Love Some Words on Love Mother & Father I Know Better Now The Brave New World I Lost My ChildAcknowledgements About the Author Recent Publications
