Written during one of the most challenging times of unanticipated change and transition due to a deadly world pandemic and the societal unrest that followed, A Glorious Poetic Rage is a breath of cathartic air and an emotional elixir to both. Elmo Shade, in this third poetry collection, takes the reader on a juxtaposed journey from surprise to panic, from rage to resilience, and from fear to redemption. Viktor Frankl once said, 'Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.' A Glorious Poetic Rage captures the universal experience of love, loss, and the cultural spaces in-between each, as well as combining humor ('Two Widows Having Coffee') with stories of family ('Herkie’s Shoe Shop,' 'The Sister I Never Had'), friendships ('Then There Are Wolves,' 'Hunters and Farmers), and the mindful will of never giving up ('Predator, 'Love Dogs') in the most difficult of times. 3
