BOOKS

Published in 2017, Michael Graves’ award-winning “Messages in a Bottle: Communications to My Future Self” contains 67 of his most popular pieces and addresses the question: “What if you knew that after death, you would live again? What messages would you send into the future for yourself?”

The result of this endeavor is a gripping, life-changing collection of poetry. It spans the gamut of love, death, politics, social upheaval, art, hope, humor, brass-tacks metaphysics and more. There is power in these words, and there are valuable lessons in this book. Available at Hugo House: https://hugohousepublishers.com/product/messages-bottle-paperback/ Also available on Amazon.

“Michael Graves is the real deal. He takes us into the poetic and philosophic life, good literature, and full relationships with gusto. He engages us thoroughly, often jauntily, with the full cooperation of his highly knowledgeable, metaphoric, rhythmic, and often comic, poetic mind. Very highly recommended!! — Carole Brooks Platt, PhD - author of “In Their Right Minds: The Lives and Shared Practices of Poetic Geniuses”

Published in 2016, “Reflections on a Crystal Wind” was Michael Graves' much anticipated, first collection of poetry. Containing 52 of his most popular pieces, “Reflections…” has been described by one reviewer as “…a wild poetic ride through a landscape of unexpected emotions!” Available from Hugo House Publishers: https://hugohousepublishers.com/product/reflections-on-a-crystal-wind-paperback/ Also available on Amazon.

"Brilliantly life-affirming! I haven't read anything like this since ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull.’" — Holley Stewart, Life Coach
