Exodus From The Quicksand: Poetry By Reggie Wilson Jr. LCSW Hardcover – April 6, 2024

I have seen death many times throughout my life. Most recently, after being put on life support twice, my body is different. But my mind and spirit suffered the most. Changing over night was difficult. It was like I aged a decade or more. So I have also seen what life can do to a person barely hanging on to survival. Exodus From The Quicksand is a book of poetry expressing the jouney one can take through depression, rejection, sickness, racism and death. It is also a book that highlights the joys, humor, and love one can find through the quicksand. It is a book with one carrying theme, Encouragement. To be encouraged is hard but staying encouraged can be almost impossible without being intentional. This book helps you Stay Encouraged. Depression, anxiety, ptsd and constant suicidal ideation, I carried with a smile so no one could notice. And then like a ram in a bush, I found the gift of the pen and journal. As I found my poetic voice again, I knew that I was given a gift to knit words and write myself out of the quicksand that held me bound. I pray that this book helps you climb out of your quicksand of life and shake your sand off. Read more
