Gary Heffern is our guest this week. Poet, Musician, Singer and Songwriter, Mentor to many and a friend to a thousand more....Unholy Dreams is a poetry collection just published of Gary's work."His remarkable spirit has shone forth through his words music, and by simply being a pilgrim following his soul - he's been telling his truth all along." Thank you for this quote about Gary Heffern by Jesse Sykes. Heffern: "If you don't want heartache, then don't have a heart. A heart ain't a heart until it's been torn apart it ain't love if it's a chore,,,,even the bull has compassion for the matador.."

Chris Nickson writes of Gary's life: "Gary Heffern knows the heart, how it breaks, how it can crack wide open with love, how it can heal. He knows all too well how fucked up life can be. He's been there, looked around, and taken the journey back . He's seen the sun, he's been soaked by tghe rain and he's felt the cold deep down in his bones. What he does is write about it with absolute honesty. This is truth, no masks, no pretense, no veils. He digs and digs until he finds the kernel of truth deep inside himself, then he holds it up. That's what these words are."

My favorites include 'hand of the devil,' 'well of sorrows,' 'untamed youth,' and too many others to write......Unholy Dreams is a monumental contribution to American poetry....Let's talk to the man!
