Synopsis:
"Where Purple Shadows Fall" is a book of poems that
dares to tackle head-on the subject of what it means to
be human. Something John E. Cashwell does with
tenderness and inexhaustible curiosity. From his
eulogy of the Native American Indian ("Above the
Cliffs") to his love of country ("America") and the quiet
moments of spirituality in-between ("Mother of God")
there is an earned respect of life and the will to be free
in each writing. "Where Purple Shadows Fall" is a
collection we expect you to return to again and again.
For while the author has many in his library of works
to choose from, the forty poems offered here are
among his favorites.
From Where Purple Shadows Fall one is quick to
recognize that Cashwell's verse is a vivid testimony to
various aspects of his biographical itinerary. For it is
within his prose poems that he traces most eloquently
an outline of his life's journey.
Then comes the shocking realization that there is
measured, rhythmic, free verse alongside Haiku all
joined under one cover-- the cover of a new Bard
rising in Northeastern North Carolina. Perhaps the
last of the Great Epic Poem Writers.

“Flashbacks”
Widows and children
fresh with shock and trauma
eyes beyond expression
part of the crowd
mourners.
Black mourning band
on a shiny badge
ignored in the crowd
waiting with great dignity
mother.
A final salute amid
black shrouds and glasses
and gut-wrenching silence
then a piercing shrill
bagpipe band.
A grassy knoll
empty caskets
maybe a single body part
silently lowered
abyss.
