Reseña del libro "Mindf?ck (en Inglés)"
Observing human behavior is fascinating from artists' point of view, as it gives them the creative license to freely express by questioning what they see - not by providing answers. Because the answer always lies in an individual's subjective interpretation of any work of art. It's especially fun when you're a self-taught surrealist sculptor, photographer, humorist, activist, poet, and world-traveler like Jim Peera who loves to shatter conventional boundaries with his raw and shock-appeal style of self-expression. In 'MINDF?CK', Peera masterfully blends all his creative genius with a philosophical twist to treat the reader with one mission: To go where no poetry book has gone before! Having published his last successful poetry book, Unf*ck in the spring of 2023, Jim decides to embark on a world tour sharing his work with people from all walks of life in Latin America, U.S.A, and Europe. As an empath, he quickly notices a post-pandemic world where folks are in a malaise and are sleepwalking their way into a slow death - a mindfuck dilemma that he feels needs urgent unfucking. In particular, he sees societal red-flags of imbalance such as: An inability to live in the present; A hesitancy to be vulnerable; A fear of being authentic; A loss of passion and sexual intimacy; A habit of taking life too seriously; An urge to retreat into tribalism and; An unwillingness to take self-responsibility. Jim starts to question and express all of these issues in his poetry writings during his travels. His intention: To inspire awareness, open dialogue, and activate self-transformation for the reader. He then adds his surrealism-styled matching sculptures with creative photography into this mix - and a powerful book is born. "I create to provoke the mind, and evoke emotion - in order to engage, entertain, and enlighten you" says Jim Peera of his works. "This book also contains many of my own personal emotional journeys that I share without inhibitions. As a result, 'MINDF?CK' promises to ride you into one of the wildest, highly original, and most soul-satisfying poetic adventures ever published in modern times!" he proudly exclaims.
