    About this ebook

    This collection of poetry dealing with death in broad terms. Miscarriage, suicide, and the musings of death itself are covered in "that long goodbye: small pieces of death".

    From the end of a marriage to dealing with life in the COVID-19 age, these poems are raw and moving.

    The prose that fills these pages is not as light and airy as previous poems from KJ Mullins have been but neither are the times we are living in.

    KJ Mullins

    I believe that everyone has a voice. Combining my passion of journalism and social issues I have worked to bring the issues of homelessness, mental health and crime to the front burner while covering the city of Toronto for newz4u.ca, an online news source that I founded in May 2010.For the past decade, I have been a freelance journalist, writing thousands of articles on all subject matters. For the past five years, I have focused on the city of Toronto, mental health, arts, crime and social issues.Journalism requires various skill sets from being able to listen, research and have an inner insight of what needs to be told. Explaining complex issues under 1,000 words and in quick fashion is a skill that comes from the University of Life.When I am not composing words at my keyboard I do outreach on the streets of Toronto with the homeless. I have been part of Straight to the Street for the past six years. I don't believe one has to be part of an agency to give back.

      I started this collection of poetry in the Spring of 2019 knowing that my marriage was on the last days. In late July I left my home to enter a domestic violence shelter leaving behind the almost completed collection.
