Shortcut To A Nervous Breakdown

About the Book

I write poetry to help sort out all of the problems in my life, so my poetry is very personal, and sometimes it might even be a little disturbing, but I always try to leave the light on at the end of the tunnel. This collection of poems is the result of the first forty years of my life. If I happen to live another forty years, there just might be another book.

About the Author

My name is Erick Kendall Huling. I grew up near a little town called Cheyenne, nestled in the red hills of western Oklahoma. I am the youngest of five boys born to Darrell and Esther Huling. My mother wanted a girl so badly that she did not even have a boy’s name picked out for me when I was born. When she found out that it was her curse to raise yet another son, she named me after the town I was born in - Erick, Oklahoma - and the Doctor who delivered me - Dr. Kendall.
