The Man Who Drowned Himself On Stage : A collection of poems

The Man Who Drowned Himself On Stage speaks of the fragility of the human heart and soul. In Patrick Hart's second book, he surprises the audience by removing yet another layer of proverbial skin, as he addresses common, yet difficult themes, such as love, pain, artistry, death, and depression.  The Man Who Drowned Himself On Stage is hyper focused on the author's growth as a writer, and as the title suggests, a complete exposure of his conscience and subconscious.  Patrick writes with an unbridled ferocity that is increasingly rare in today's poetic landscape, and this book further concretes that brand.  If his first book, WAR PAINT, was the distillery, then this installment is the alcohol poisoning. This poetry collection will move you with lines and lessons like, "Some paradises desire a God, but spend eternity trying to find one," and "Loneliness grows like a weed, where love, love blooms like an orchid. It must be nurtured kindly."
