Crows is a collection of poems written by James Morgan from 1975 through 1999 arranged, approximately, in chronological order. They reflect on relationships, nature in general and more specifically on the landscape of Cape Cod, where the author lives.
Focusing on personal empowerment, this book explores the journey from victimhood to mastery through the author’s real-life experiences of overcoming a challenging upbringing in a Midwest steel town. James Morgan, drawing from his background of poverty and a single-parent household, shares psychological techniques and mindset shifts that helped him regain control of his life. Readers are provided with practical tools to break free from negative thinking and take ownership of their circumstances, regardless of their past challenges.
Exploring the journey of self-discovery, the narrative follows James Morgan, a writer and aspiring painter, as he and his wife abandon their comfortable life in Little Rock, Arkansas. Inspired by Henri Matisse, they embark on a transformative adventure to seek artistic inspiration and embrace a more fulfilling existence. Blending memoir, travelogue, and biography, the book illustrates that pursuing one's dreams requires passion and determination, rather than wealth.
