JC Crumpton is a new voice in poetry. Nowhere is this more on display than here in this collection of verse. Told in four sections, these writings hit fast and hard, taking the reader to the shadowed recesses that fester, only to bring out the light. Crumpton’s words seem melancholic at first, but closer inspection reveals the depths he searches to finish with hope and resolution.
Award-winning author JC Crumpton has collected some of his most-fascinating published fiction and poetry along with exciting new works just waiting to be explored across multiple genres.
In the Midst of Chaos brings together a collection of stories the author entered into various contests for the 2021 OCW Writers Conference in Eureka Springs, Arkanas. These include the award-winning title story with its commentary on modern commercialism, a different take on a respected hero of myth, and a tale about the joys of dysfunctional holidays. Two stories not entered into contests wrap up this quick-to-read collection. The author steps away from genre fiction to bring readers literary fiction and social commentary at its finest, ranging from the humorous to the more serious. Filled with a brutal honesty, these stories do not shy away from the magnifying glass when viewing the world around us. Perfect for a quick beach read or a trip on the daily commute, In the Midst of Chaos searches our landscape and peers into the shadows to find what is looking back.
