What is The Human Core?
What does it mean to be human?
This is the central question asked in The Human Core and explored through three sections of The City, The Country and The Froniter (and on the website a fourth section called General). Within each section the poems are focused on different personas, locations and time.
Personas are the masks we wear in public from The Scientist to The Artist to The Housewife to The Photographer to the Engineer to The Comedian to The Chef and many more that take place within the City or the Country or the Frontier.
Locations are the physical points in space we inhabit where the most significant life moments occur from intersections and specific addresses to country roads to remote trails in the wilderness.
Time and how we relate to it, whether a day, an hour, a year or a moment is how we define our lives.
Meet the author:
Philip Charles Williams
Exiled in New Jersey in the summer of 2020, when the world was shut down, and the future looked bleak, I gazed out onto a lake and made a deep commitment to begin writing again after a twelve-year hiatus.
Writing nearly every day in a journal, thoughts fell naturally into verse. After five and a half years of writing and completing five 400-page Moleskine notebooks, it was time to share the work.
