About the Book

Roadtrip Through My Mind is a poetic journey through my mind. A small picture of my mind-life as it reflects my poetic likes and dislikes. I think people of different ages would enjoy reading this book of poems. In places the scheme and sequence of this book may seem choppy. That's done to reflect the choppiness of everyday thought. My favorite poem in this book would be "We Are Characters". Characters is a metaphor for the thoughts that a poet may think up. Also I feel in life that we are all characters. The poet does a job that not everyone has the patience to do. The skydiver experiences a reality separate from the more conservative sides of society. A lot of my writing influences come from the Beat Generation. Some of my favorite writers are Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs and Gregory Corso. I also like the style of T.S. Eliot's writings. I don't feel that poetry has to always be a restrained form. Some of the poetry in this book will be fold-ins. In that way this book can be an ode to different styles that I like. I think that aleatory in writing should be practiced more heavily. In ways I look at writing as painting. With fold-ins the writing becomes a small collage of words. Theres also new phrases and meanings that come out of the writing when different topics are mix-matched and blended. In more avant-garde writing there's a lot of artfulness that gets overlooked. Art imitates life and life doesn't always make complete and perfect sense. Therefore poetry shouldn't always be expected to make perfect sense.
About the Author: Vincent T. Callahan (803) 716 2062 Road-trip Through My Mind www.forcefrc@aol.com 5/25/1988 My name is Vincent Tyrone Callahan. I was born in Brooklyn, New York (Kings County). My birth-date is May 25, 1988. I went to school in New York until second grade. Then my family moved to Aiken, South Carolina Shortly after moving to South Carolina my mother died on September 30, 1997. This had a profound effect on my writing and my personality. I grew up on mostly hip-hop music that my older brothers listened to. A lot of my writing is in lyric form due to hip-hop influence. I developed a love for hip-hop culture. Rappers like Redman, LL Cool J, Tupac and Jay-Z. When I was 9 these influences inspired me to write. My love for rap branched off into a love for poetry. As I got older I developed a love for grunge rock. I'm a big fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers. The writing styles of grunge rock bands began to appeal to me. I went to South Aiken High School but dropped out in the 9th grade. Shortly after I got my GED and went to community college at Aiken Tech for automotive technology. I had a love for poetry at a young age and now I feel my writing would have an audience. I really want to do this as a writer. I haven't had a formal education in writing but this is what I love to do.
