Book excerpt: Aaron de Monbrun is a writer, poet, thespian and family man from Nebraska who has the singular talent to turn a few well-crafted words into a dynamic story. Born in Virginia Beach, and raised all over, including 5 years in Japan, Aaron developed a true "worldview" as part of a military family. His uncanny enthusiasm for communicating through the spoken word is contagious and inspiring, captivating one and all to follow him on his winding journey to the moon and stars. It is a journey not only of time and space, but of mood and spirit and modality of times. Reading an Aaron de Monbrun poem is like pulling on a sweater yarn until the sweater is totally unraveled, exposing the naked truth underneath, and yet not finding at all what you would expect.
