Love Ain't Neutral: a soul+FULL journey through the seasons

Love Ain't Neutral: a soul+FULL journey through the seasons is an honest, poetic reflection on grief, healing, depression, and the quiet courage it takes to keep showing up.

Written over several seasons of life, this is jmaw's 15th book, chronicling the quiet resilience it takes to endure today through cycles of depression, grief after loss, and the raw complexity of living. As the shadow of dysthymia (persistent depressive disorder) is cast, the light of these poems explores a world where beauty and sorrow walk hand in hand. The writing is both raw and vulnerable, offering glimpses of hope, clarity, and healing amidst the heaviness.

Born and raised in Hawai'i, Jason Walter (aka jmaw) is a poet and artist of mixed ethnicity who seeks to inspire and be inspired. This collection weaves cultural soul, emotional truth, and spiritual insight. Rooted in the rhythms of contemporary local life in the islands and universal pain, jmaw's voice speaks across the ocean and generations.
