The Speed of Light and the Simplicity Richard Clough

This is a compilation of poems and stories based on a similar material that is still in its gestation stage. Like the title says, this book has come relatively fast after shaking off the forces of the black hole resisting its light-filled message. It's this anomaly in the flow of expression that gives the speed of light its unusual texture and uniqueness, leaving it to the most perspicuous people to perceive the subtle distinctions between the past simplicity it is based on and the present so-called complexity. In the Speed of Light and the Simplicity, it says I was clutching my therapist Laurie Boxer voluptuously at the end of the dark Southern night, which in the complexity is the spirit of the house. One can see how time has brought into focus the warped aspects of light through time. This book has a sequel called The Maryland Prize.
