Kilroy Was Here

Somewhere between ADHD fever dream and semibiographical novel, J. M Kugler, otherwise known as Focus Jordan, seeks to answer why so many search for meaning in creativity when they cannot find it in reality. Using the creation of the original 'meme' and graffiti "Kilroy Was Here" as a guiding point, Kugler's avant-garde poems and rambling short stories explore the trials of his life with dark humor, vivid imagery, and at times, aching sadness. At 25 years old, the author shows he is quite ahead of his time, bringing a world-weary viewpoint for such a young man.

From the preface- "While all of our battles might not be fought with iron and fire, and they might not be fought on a scale larger than one person, they are equally as dangerous. Our response to these wars tests our mettle, our grit, and our decision-making. It brings out the best of us and the worst of us. It's a battleground we will all fight on. Like the Kilroy Was Here graffiti of World War Two, it's ubiquitous."
