About the Book

The poet’s mind is a cognitive universe of wonder and intrigue that author Calvin W. Allison gives a personal tour through in his newest project Poetic Cognition. Having exceeded the standard merits of what common poetry fans have come to expect from their favorite poets of the modern day era, Calvin feels obliged to further transcend the natural order of things in regards to poetic design. From the coded galaxies where poetry like “Ready, Set, Go!” and “The Equidistant” orbit with their desire of discovery, to the zany galaxies where the “Pensive Penny” poetry series shoots like curveball comets across the intellect’s processing screen, to the radical, exotic galaxies where poetry like “The Faces In The Mirror” and “Illuminated Destinies” amplify throughout the uncharted dimensions of the abstract cosmos, these works offer a healthy balanced diet that consists of all the divers major thought-groups to assist in satisfying the psychological appetite. In Poetic Cognition, Calvin has penned a new cycle of poetry that should be able to arouse every intellectual sense available to satisfy the cravings of those who desire an expansion in their mental capacities.


About the Author

Calvin W. Allison was born in a town called Ada in the state of Oklahoma. When he was four years of age, his family moved from the town of Ada to a remote location deep in the country where he grew up. His immediate biological family consisted of himself, his dad, mom, and two sisters. The years passed while the surrounding climate of his childhood took him through the diverse seasons of growth where the developing cycles of character took their effect. During his 7th to 10th grade years at the educational edifice called school, he experienced some very difficult times that caused his emotions to darken, and his self-esteem to sink low into the dimly lit hallways of manic depression. Inward hurt outwardly resulted in a reckless living that sent him staggering to find balance down a pathway obstructed with self constructed landmines that he narrowly edged his way around. During that dark venturing -while in self destruct mode- he wrote numerous volumes of negative poetry, and surrounded his life with dark secular entertainment that intensified his excessive impulses for erosion. He attached himself to harmful habits, often indulging in drug use, and in alcoholic consumption. As a result of his dangerous addictions, he went off-road into several ditches, encountered various perils, and once spent a night in a physical jail. The time that he spent existing was unproductive, and the chains of the world were steadily tightening around his vague hope of progressing. Though the rope of his unstableness was long enough to stretch through an accumulation of scarred up years, it reached its end on the night of February 7th 1999. On that night he stepped away from the toxic waste that he had become, and toward the belief that there was Someone there that could help him. So he called out to God with a sincere heart, and then received an experience that gave him an unyielding desire to continue seeking God. Then one night he opened up his heart and received the Lord Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Calvin was born again, and everything in his life became brand new. His eyes were opened up, and he could see things with a spiritual clarity that he previously was not able to. His perspective on life had completely changed, and he got rid of all of the negative volumes of poetry that he had written. He also got rid of all of the dark secular entertainment that had once contributed to his condition of grief. The light of God’s pure redeeming truth had filled his heart and mind with a love that reconstructed his entire being. Now Calvin writes for the glory of God, and bears witness to the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. Calvin is a well learned student of the Bible who stands strong in the faith of the Lord. He is a Conservative American with a good understanding of the political system, and he has an interest in the field of true science. His Christian values are the foundation of any subject that he advances in, and upon that foundation he cannot be moved. Whether the subjects are of political significance , scientific significance , or of any other subjects of significance, Calvin strongly believes that they must be proven durable from a Biblical standpoint. If they cannot be proven durable from a Biblical standpoint, he believes that they have no place in the classifications that are relevant to importance, and therefore have no underlined substance to offer that would be beneficial to anyone. Calvin is proficient in writing in a various form of styles, including in a second person format, as was demonstrated in this short documentation of biographical/ testimonial information. He hopes that his books greatly bless all of those that read them.
