Kevin Brennan is a writer/husband/father/friend/poet/disappointed psychologist/computer genius on a quest for meaning in his experiences and relationships. In Bad Words: Tailings of a Man's Life, Kevin applies the lenses of memory and creativity to a patchwork of moments and artistic impulse. The result is a touching review not just of a man's life, but of his soul wrestling with the truth of Ecclesiastes that the race is not to the swift. In facing the ordinary, Kevin discovers for himself and his reader the extraordinary depth of an observant life.
