Down at the Double Helix Shoe Store

From the Book Cover

In Down at the Double Helix Shoe Store, Mr. Wolff takes us into the realm of his perceptions where we cannot help but glean insights on ourselves and our circumstances. His work is incisive, thought provoking, often humorous, and, on occasion, profanely blunt. The sum of these poems is a new voice that allows us to see our understanding of what comprises happiness from a welcome and empowering viewpoint. Mr. Wolffs debut effort is an illuminating no-holds-barred "must read."

From the Xlibris Press Release

Emotional illness is endemic in our modern times. More than ever, the technologies we have created for greater connectivity have, ironically, also resulted in increased feelings of isolation and loneliness. Combine this with ingrained unwholesome emotional behavior, which has been handed down through untold generations, and you begin to grasp the complexity of our common plight. Fred Wolff shares his journey towards emotional healing in a new collection of poems entitled Down at the Double Helix Shoe Store.

Emotional healing can start by reorienting the focus of our perceptions, which in turn can enable us to transcend conventional awareness or consensus reality. Transcending our day-to-day awareness can reveal previously veiled viewpoints through which the process of emotional healing can begin. Happiness lies within; it is a function of our inner landscape. This inner landscape is ours to design and to create. When the creation of this landscape is done with an increased degree of awareness, a more satisfactory result can be achieved. Thus, each of us has the right to and the inherent potential for peace and happiness, for emotional well-being.

Wolff, who through long and arduous struggle has come far in this arena, shares with us his quest through his art. He serves us poems rife with intellectual play. Through his perceptions he displays common subjects from an uncommon and illuminating point of view, and he does so with clarity. Each poem provides thought-provoking insights. Here is one unique poetry collection.
