A Piece Of My Damn Mind!

A Piece of My Damn Mind gives every inspiring writer hope, a sense of ability, and most importantly a voice. In this, his first effort, Stillwell manages to put forth a humanistic self we can all relate to and puts a background melody in our minds that warms the blood like Bye Bye Blackbird. A Piece of My Damn Mind provides our laughter and emotions with the words we have all searched for at one point in our lives. His work is weaved together by mingling photos of stripped honesty and integrity and quotes that remind us what the world once was, what it is and where it's going. There is a strong sense of community in this book that comes through in poems like Small Town Blues where we feel like we've shared a neighborhood and have known him for years. In pieces like Dreams for Sale he asks us to laugh at things that once hurt and shows us that's how to move on. Stillwell lets you think for yourself, which is a rarity in today's poet. Where most poets ask and answer he fills you with the hope that this book is the product of his listening. All he asks in exchange for a piece of his mind is a little bit of thought and opinion out of yours. He reaches into all realms. He has decolor-coded people and presented works soulful enough to grasp everyone on the minds best level.
