BORN INTO THE ARTS
I have loved movies and music since I can remember. I became an avid reader when I learned how. Born in Salt Lake City, the author of FILL MY EYES and the soon to be published THE BACKSIDE OF YESTERDAY, sets all his work in the Salt Lake Valley. He is a romantic regional Writer in the shadow of his idol STEINBECK. Encouraged to write by a high school teacher, The Library Of Congress published his first book of verse BROKEN WINDOWS,in audio for their visually impaired visitors (and will be published in book form later this year). Terry Robertson currently resides in North Carolina, but plans on moving back to his native roots in the West.
REVIEWS FOR FILL MY EYES
"FILL MY EYES has received tremendous reviews. The author's love of his homeland is evident. THE UTAH BOOK REVIEW The Utah News Source.com
This is a short book, but filled with a big theme and succeeds on all levels. The author proposes a society without family and religious values and what do you get? Dysfunctional people all over the place. These values may seem in place, but they are ultimately false. The most interesting element of this book is the author's ability to write part of his story from a logical point of view of a four year old boy who is caught up in this messy adult society.
The book is filled the images and symbolism, particularly the surprise ending. This is not a fun nor an easy read. It must be read carefully, it's not difficult but requires your attention as the author will throw in another unanswered question in mid paragraph!
The structure of the book is very interesting. Three first person accounts, as well as the third person. There is a very strong mystery element I don't know if the author intended or not, but it keeps you reading from the explosive opening to the surprising climax.
Well done. Five Stars! FLIPKART INDIA.COM
PHOTOGRAPH
Do you still have your photograph
From Graduation Day?
The one that captured your youth
When you didn’t understand the truth
That the pain still stays
Long after memory has gone
I know how you feel
Viewing the world through a camera lens
The shutter clicks
The picture comes out unclear
But then
Neither did your ideals
Oh, and I know how you feel
The war against the heart and mind
That leaves an open sore
Scarred from love
Only to remind you
It was the first time
So don’t change your mind
You survive the years ahead
When you leave the years behind
Framed in tinted glass
A memory from your past
You will soon forget
Do you still have that Kodachrome fantasy
On your dressing table?
Yes, I know how you feel
Because the memory is so real
But if your spirit is free
Then this snapshot is on me
In black and white
