Philosopher Stoned – Incarcerated by Tavius Dyer is an amazing collection of fiction, poetry, creative non-fiction, and essay—a moving and lively celebration of life, a testament of survival and recovery. The clipped blunt poetry captures the sense and insensibility of this philosopher in his world, attempt-ing, as he says, to “speak pain into love.” There is a keen imagination at work here. We are given an inside view of life incarcerated, but more than that an inside view of someone struggling with the prison of addiction, struggling to transcend the limiting dichotomy of a “still silent prayer/ or/ an empty play-ground.” In both the fiction and his poems, Tavius uses startling and vibrant images, employing all the senses, to let us see his world. We see it in “Must Everything,” among other poems, as he explores the “puzzle/ [he has] not yet/ picked up the pieces/ and put back together.” The tale told here is a compel-ling one, both frightening and uplifting, and we are grateful for being shown the extremes, for Tavius’s generous spirit as he guides us through darkness and into the light.

Suzanne Helfman, De Anza College, English InstructorAuthor, Night Driving

The Day of Release Celebrating my 29th birthday April 8, 2005 September 19, 2006

Tavius Dyer—philosopher, poet, survivor—both confronts and reinvents himself in this honest first book of cross-genre reflection, startling recollection, and recurring epiphany. You’ll be surprised by the intensity of both the prose and the poetry here. Dyer offers rhythmic and vividly imagined views of multiple isolations. But he is also deeply fed by his immersions into language, and he surfaces with compelling artifacts of both incarceration and inspiration. While incarcerated, Dyer writes of his own scars, “burrowed beneath/ the thin dark hairs of my arm… stories of white light & marigolds/ I have not yet seen.” As William Carlos Williams wrote, “it is difficult to get the news from poems, yet men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there.” Tavius Dyer has been discovering “what is found there” and is bringing us the news.

Writer in recovery, Tavius Dyer, explores language and life in sobriety with free verse lyrical poetry and personal photography.

This is his second book, a sequel to Philosopher Stoned - Incarcerated which was written in 2004-2005 through letters mailed to his dear friend Ed Basanese while Dyer was behind bars. Philosopher Stoned - Incarcerated was release the summer of 2007.

This book, Philosopher Stoned - Recovered consists of poetry written since his incarceration while in recovery from alcoholism and addiction. Personal photography has been added to this project to give it an even more intimate portrayal of the importance of people in our lives.

“Those we love are our life” — Tavius Dyer.

Please enjoy these often abstract, imagistic, lyrical, and openly honest pieces. As Tavius Dyer discovers himself, so will you.

True Love

To Die Will Be to Know True Love

For the First Time

- Tavius Dyer

Excerpt from the Forward for Love Lush

Imagine reading a contemporary poet who doesn’t seek to appease you by constructing a body of work full of superlatives or flowery adornments. Imagine reading a distinctly, and refreshingly disturbing, philosophical intellectual collection of poems at its most raw and unrefined, within its disquieted self, while also being seductive with a surprisingly sharp contrast of emotional insight.

Tavius Dyer is such a writer, spoken word artist, philosopher and musician who consistently reinvents his craft, as himself, almost as if they are one.

If you are bold, brave and ready to venture beyond the comfortable refuge of accepted art forms, then you may be ready for the avant-garde of surprising contrasts within Dyer’s creative editorials. This is a personal journey via often abstract poetic forms. If you want to indulge in the most intimate sense of madness, as well as the pure aspects of Divine love, then turn the page and begin the discovery of Dyer’s naked soul.
