The Will Saunters: Pushing Onward
By: Zack Saunders
Co-authored by: William "B.J." Saunders and Angela Mitchell
About the Book
The Will Saunters: Pushing Onward tells a collection of creative ideas to communicate emotion and thought—likely stemming from trauma or some other form of inspiration. The poems reveal three differing perspectives from the vantage point of people who once lived in the same broken household. They also portray the creative thought patterns that readers can either relate to or deeply appreciate.
This book displays a collection of poems and creative pieces put together as a broken family's project. William "B.J." Saunders, deceased due to alcoholism, provided the majority of the writings. Angela Mitchell, ex-wife to William Saunders, supplies the second largest portion of the book. Zack Saunders, son of William Saunders and Angela Mitchell, displays his creative expressions for a third portion of the book.
Readers can feel drawn to the paintings portrayed through words. Each writing hopefully captivates readers with its uniqueness and ability to make readers feel the emotion behind what each author communicates.
