You are the kind of overcoming

You are the kind of overcoming that puts all the other threats in their place.
—Buddy Wakefield

Years from now

Years from now, the enlightened civilization ahead of us will stare bewildered at our lethal masculinity and say, But each one, when he was running, tied bows to the top of his feet.
—Buddy Wakefield, A Choir of Honest Killers

Your body remembers

Your body remembers the soundtrack to your past life.
It remembers the next life coming.

—Buddy Wakefield, A Choir of Honest Killers

A Good Chance

There’s a good chance I’m a bad person
trying to do something right.

—Buddy Wakefield, A Choir of Honest Killers

Vulnerability

Vulnerability is what made every movie, sang every song, and wrote every poem that ever plugged a life back into itself.
—Buddy Wakefield, A Choir of Honest Killers

A CHOIR OF HONEST KILLERS

A Choir of Honest Killers, Buddy Wakefield’s 2019 release of prose and poetry, is a staggeringly honest account of life alone on the road, the prolonged agony of a failed relationship in the midst of public shame, and frequent specific serendipity.

No matter how brutal it gets, this story continuously rockets forward in a one-man relay race to the light with refreshing humor, keen insights and a single sudden moment of bliss.

Hardcopies of the book are sold out and out of print. Audiobook to be released December 2024!
