100 Sonnets - - Love and Demise By Layne Thrasher
“Writing is not always peacefully releasing. Sometimes the words haunt, keeping one awake at night until they are released on the piece of paper where they live and breathe and ultimately die if not remembered. “
See for yourself if Layne Thrasher lives up to his own words with the impact the words in this book have. Thrasher continues,
“Other times these words float around, forcing the author and others empathetic to relive the reasons and events which cause their creation in the first place.
Sometimes the hand cannot keep up with the thoughts, they suffocate and drown one’s self and turn on you. Perhaps they will come to define you. In a world where we are all slaves to something or another, I gladly choose passion and words, passion in words as my fix. I hope 100 Sonnets will take you to that place you have always longed to go but have had difficulty finding.”
Layne Thrasher released this book during July of 2003. Layne Thrasher has another novel in the works to be released soon. “100 Sonnets – Love and Demise” by Layne Thrasher is available in hard-cover and paperback.

If one thing needs to be looked into deeper, whether by psychologists, scholars, filmmakers, all of the above, none of the above but just yourself, it is the relationship between an artist and muse. The artist and his or her lover. This is a doomed relationship at times, as writers are dangerous beings. They live to write, and instead of letting art imitate life they sometimes feel the need to take matters into their own hands and force life to imitate art instead.
It is a highly destructive interaction, playing with the lines of right and wrong, theme and action, inspiration and forced situations. More often than not, those involved are left broken but forever changed, perhaps for the better, perhaps wasting a rare gift.
