J.J. Campbell's work is an unflinching look into a life spent alone with the bottle and the page readily at hand.
It is raw, honest, and uncompromising in every sense of the word.
And in its brutal honesty is the beauty of true poetry and furthermore true art.
As from the opening dedication in:
“To whomever finds the body.”
You are keyed in to the fact that this is a writer who doesn't sugarcoat a single line to ever soften the blow. Campbell's work is perfect in that sense, and in this newest collection, you are getting a writer at the top of his form.
To Live Your Dreams is a book for true fans of poetry and art that goes for the throat and delivers in spades.
This is poetry how it should be, raw and real in every sense of the word.
John Patrick Robbins, Editor-in-Chief of The Rye Whiskey Review
