The South Shore is not as docile or serene as its calm waterfront makes it out to be. Miles upon miles of beaches and dunes may hold the sea from overtaking the land but the sand cannot contain the real island life that dwells over the bridge and beyond the bay. In most cases, the island's shore produces a bit of madness within its residents. A madness that may never truly manifest or engulf its host, but a madness that sits resilient. Ever mindful that dreariness behind all the beauty of the ocean can lead one to break. Inspired mainly by memories, dreams, and all the in-betweens, "Where Fuddled Hounds Slept: The Found Writings of a South Shore Lunatic" brings to paper the inner ramblings of a man torn between the love and the loathing of his island home. "Where Fuddled Hounds Slept..." is the first venture into the world of poetic writings for J. Colin Denning. With an open mind raise a glass, make a toast, and step into the skewed world of a born and bred South Shore lunatic.
