Watch the Transcript Reading of DRACONUM:

Reading performed by actor Geoff Mays

Get to know writer Sebastian Halford:

1. What is your novel about?

My novel is about a young dragon who is forced to flee when the lair he shares with his mother comes under attack. Sanctuary lies in a small community of humans nestled in the foothills of a vast and towering mountain range, where the young dragon’s father serves as guardian.

2. Why should this novel be read by anyone?

I wanted to write a book where dragons are integral to the story – front and center, so to speak, and not in the periphery. If this sounds appealing, give it a try, you might like.

Genre: Depression/Life

THE REAL DEFINITION OF DEPRESSION
by Lindsay Gignac

People are always asked how would you describe depression?

What is depression like?

While you know they think they know the answer but they really don’t Depression is not a dream

Depression is not anorexic girls and boys staring in their mirrors

Depression is not just a sadness

Depression is a Gang made up of criminals held together by guns and weed and switchblade in your side when you betray the gang heading to the hospital or six feet below

Depression is an Ocean Filled With Blood Thirsty Sharks swimming.smelling,hoping for a victim discovering a ripped soul and devours on that like it won’t survive without it while the soul is screaming for help under water being fought over and ripped apart more

Depression is a Guitar With Broken Strings curled up,snapped back if pulled to far unfixable

Depression is…

Watch 1984: THE MATRIX Poetry Reading:

Poem performed by actor Geoff Mays

1) What is the theme of your poem?

The theme of my poem is the matrix. It exposes the set of devices created by its architects to manage command and regulate our behavior.

2) How would you like people to respond when they read or watch
your poetry reading?

I do not have any specific expectation from readers or listeners; I just hope they’ll share the poem to the maximum people possible so that it catches the attention of someone willing and able to raise the funds needed to make a short film out of my other poems.

3) How long have you been writing poetry?

I started writing poems 16 years ago.

4) Do you have a favorite poet?

I don’t have a favorite poet, they are many. Lao Tzu, Rumi, Okoth Bitek and Baudelaire books are…
