Making My Amends to the Dead: Collected Poems

By C. J. Robinson

Originally published as a series of short e-books between 2017 and 2021, "Making my Amends to the Dead" is the culmination of growth resulting from years of trauma, addiction, failure, and amazing perseverance. It is a journey through C. J. Robinson's struggles with substance abuse, childhood trauma, egoism, and fear. However, it is also a testament to perseverance, courage, and perhaps most importantly, redemption.

"C.J. Robinson... takes us by the hand and gently leads us through his world of hardship and hope-a hope not draped in the glossy sheen of scripted comfort, but raw, real, and human. It's a personal gospel inked with survival, revealing what it means to live on this floating marble spinning beside an ever-exploding fireball." -Author John Roedel (wonderache)

Starting with that author's debut collection "The Moment of my Dying", C. J. throws us into a fiery maelstrom of lost loves, personal pain, and unexpected triumphs that will not let go.
