http://community.gettinghired.com/blogs/thepoetryofjamesmagill/default.aspxSome of the root creative and time tested works of literature had their inspiration and origins in the pain, hope, and suffering of experiencing life to its fullest. Much of my poetry deals with the human condition, as seen from the perspective of a person with a disability that began in his earlier years, and the struggles and sacrifices made to participate in the world as a contributing being. My work stretches from the often shallowness of man&#39;s heart to the absolute victory of his spirit over obstacles both seen and unseen. My writing hopefully provokes the reader to better understand what a person&#39;s will can overcome, create, and accomplish in the face of everyday adversity. My poetry may not always express a joyful tone but to deny its honesty is an untruth in itself. Also, I believe that my poetry helps to further define the ever emerging and growing culture of people with disabilities and thus is of some significance.
