| Publisher Description: Searchin' for Psychedelica is a seamless blend of physical and metaphysical issues. The imagery is still the core of McInnis' work, painting pictures that baptize our faded black and white reality in a rainbow of magic realism, making it known that McInnis is searching for more than the trinkets of physical gratification, showing that activities such as sex and drug abuse are merely humanity's misguided attempt to gain inner peace. This collection contains two of McInnis' most noted and requested poems. "Mississippi Like" shows that the struggle for African Americans to develop a positive sense of self is a metaphysical journey. "My Journey," shows that McInnis' ultimate journey is the liberation of the individual from the mindlessness of the masses. Thus, the joy that the reader finds is created by McInnis' ability to take his individual plight and parallel it to the plight of others seeking to release themselves from the dead-end cage of the social and physical restraint. |
