Gladden Cockcrow has never taken the obvious route, neither in life nor on the page. From a childhood shaped by loneliness, schoolyard cruelty, and the quiet chaos of parental wars, he carved out a world of language where things finally made sense. He began writing at the age of nine, not to be noticed, but to survive.
Now a college student, Gladden continues to write with the same quiet defiance, with poems and stories that don't beg to be heard, but demand to be felt. His work is a testament to sensitivity as strength, and to the belief that those who watch silently often understand the most.
He does not consider this his beginning, nor does he write for endings. This book is your one day in a lifetime of reflection.
