Title peripeteia Author Marcus Tan Creti Synopsis This book of poetry comes from a period of my life produced by betrayal. I was betrayed by one with whom I had allowed myself to experience Love, even I was betraying myself. This relationship was the conduit through which I experienced a wide range of emotions such as Pain, Anger, and Hatred in a way that I have never experienced. This book is a journey through this chaotic period of losing myself in complete misery and self pity, in pain and agony, perpetuated by my unwillingness to let go or believe that anything or anyone could lift me out of despair. Scattered throughout these pages are glimmers of hope and realizations about what I had lost, without ever having been aware of what I had. The betrayals were born out of a dysfunctional life aggravated by severe drug abuse, without which none of it would have happened including the insight (I would not exist). Biography Marcus Tan Creti grew up in Iowa and Nebraska. He is the son of an Episcopalian Priest and a Nurse (Orthopedics, Hospice, O.B. GYN) and now an Artist (Iconographer). He was an average high school student and a bit of an outsider. He joined the U.S. Army soon after graduation. He spent two and a half years on active duty with the 703rd support battalion of the 3rd infantry in Wurzburg, Germany. During the nineties he spent several years in and out of college. He began working for a degree in Mechanical Engineering only to find that his passion lay in English Literature. After exploring many fields of employment, he is now a Painting Contractor in Montana.
