Description

Us is a book of poems about love, hurt, fear—and trying to overcome it—energy, music, nature, light and dark. It is about connection: unconscious, subconscious and waking state connectivity that to my mind and heart pervades everything and explains our love and our hurt and is our true reality. These poems were born out of sympathy for self and "other," that is for Self. They were brewed with tears and squeezed in virtual embrace or stamped with pounded fists to the soundtrack of the great musicians. Indeed, the songs often gathered the tide and tinted the hue of a choppy sea of thought and emotion. The sea is shared. It is Us. The poems are a few waves gathered and bottled in homage.

About the author

C.G. Matteini played sports, which taught him a lot. He became a psychology major in college, because he heard it was relatively easy, and it was one of the best decisions of his life. At some point he developed a sense for the ineffable. Not long after that, he was introduced to the writings of Carl Jung and a layperson's book on quantum physics. These works shaped his worldview a great deal. The two best things to ever happen to him were the births of his two sons. He finds it mindblowing that one day he crossed paths with the woman who would become his wife and the mother of his children, when the day before they had no knowledge of the other's existence. He is forever grateful to the musicians and writers who have inspired him over the years and continue to inspire him.

C.G. wrote a novel entitled Lucid, first in the Sine series.  He is currently working on the sequel.  C.G. has also blogged about the joys and trials and tribulations of writing novels.  Please see his website for more information: www.cgmatteini.com
