"Mercenary at Midnight" is a blazing assembly of provocative verse by author, philosopher, and creator Nicholas Ryan Howard. Crafted in moments of utmost vulnerability—and almost always after the midnight hour had struck—these 100 poems showcase the author's rebellion against complacency, rage against submission, and insurrection against resignation.
This book contains two thematic collections:
Broken Love
Reflections of the relentless, the raucous, the romantic, and the ravaged.
Parables of Circumstance
Machinations of the macabre, the mighty, the minuscule, and the magnificent.
Packed with vigorous wordplay and a razor-sharp wit, the writing burns like a shot of whiskey and sparks like an exposed wire sizzling in the rain.
"I no longer battle my demons. They know I don't fight fair."
— Nicholas Ryan Howard
