Something About Going Home







Dennis Gelbaum, an international award winning director and producer is the author of 'Something About Going Home', a book of poetry with illustrations by Christina Qualiana. ISBN-10: 1419637193. ISBN-13: 9781419637193 The poetry is raw, emotional and very personal. The poetry reflects thoughts collected about love, relationships, drugs, sex, fantasies, war, friendship, death, fear, hopelessness and hope. The illustrations are unique and their style range from abstract to photorealism. Each poem is accompanied by the author's private thoughts - describing where he was when he wrote the poem - what he was thinking, going through, dealing with, dreaming about, wishing about, wanting and more.
This insight to each poem makes for a very special journey and provides the reader an opportunity to travel along on their own path at their own pace. Readers will cry, get angry, laugh, get really angry, feel betrayed, feel hurt and lied to and when they put the book down will look for someone to hold and embrace and share a special moment with. Something About Going Home is pure - the poetry is real, the illustrations help you see that there is light at the end of the tunnel - you just have to know where to look for it.

I Could Have I Should Have
As I sit here alone
I remember us sitting together
the wind blowing through our hair
the grains of sand
slipping through our fingertips
splashes of purple and blue
and the reddish hue from the setting sun
the cool breeze off the timid water
the absence of a crowd.
We were comfortable in each others presence
sitting closely holding hands
enjoying subtle glances.
I wanted to kiss you
but I didn’t want to spoil anything
so I didn’t.
And I could have. And I should have.
But I didn’t want to spoil anything
so I didn’t!
And I could have. And I should have
But I didn’t want to spoil anything
so I didn’t!

Dennis Gelbaum is also the author of 'Beyond Reasonable Doubt' - a novel that questions the validity of DNA Profiling - questioning the American Judicial System and the International Scientific Community. To read more about BRD, please check out www.beyondreasonabledoubtbook.com or www.thegelbaumblog.blogspot.com

This is the story Jason Warren hired me to tell - its got more twists and turns that a double helix!

To get his hands on his family fortune, Jason Warren has to prove DNA evidence convicting his stepfather of his mother's murder was wrong. With the help of research scientist and DNA expert, Dr. Jennifer Neal and a team of doctors and graduate students from the USCOM North American Research Center at UC Berkeley, he sets out to challenge the International scientific community and the American judicial system. Think about all those we have found guilty solely on DNA evidence - think about all those we have set free solely on DNA evidence? Think about it.

I brought in two experts - a retired FBI agent and a psychiatrist - to help me through the process. They both warned me about Jason. We often disagreed about what the truth was. I could not tell this story without them.
