"An intense examination of life, love, and disability through a futuristic lens." -Kirkus Reviews
Rosa Viviani, a seventeen-year-old girl living in the utopian colony of Civigem on Saturn’s moon Titan, faces a series of life-altering events. In a society where disability has been eradicated through genetic engineering, Rosa becomes one of the few individuals who must navigate life with a hoverchair. As she grapples with her newfound disability, a meteor emerges from the depths of space, hurtling toward Titan with the potential to destroy everything.
Amidst the chaos, Rosa's connection to an ancient Earth religion awakens within her a mystical power that could save Civigem from the impending catastrophe. Guided by the wisdom of goddesses and unwavering support from her parents and girlfriend, Rosa embarks on a journey of self-discovery, confronting her fears and insecurities while learning to harness her newfound abilities. As the meteor's impact looms closer, Rosa must confront the limitations of her powers, the fragility of life, and the complexities of love in a society that has long forgotten the meaning of community.
In a race against time, Rosa's journey becomes a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of love, and the importance of embracing life's uncertainties. As she confronts the impending apocalypse, Rosa's story challenges the utopian ideals of Civigem, exposing the deep-seated prejudices and the hidden costs of a society that has long suppressed the natural diversity of human existence.
In this collection of poems, C.R. Reardon takes readers on a heartfelt journey through the landscapes of love, loss, and the complexities of human connection–in a world that marginalizes the disabled. With unflinching honesty and vulnerability, Reardon's words paint portraits of personal experiences, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of living with a disability in America.
​
From introspective musings on identity and social commentary, Reardon's poems are a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. His tender yet defiant voice explores themes of hope, longing, and the pursuit of happiness. He invites readers to question societal norms and embrace diversity.
​
This book reminds us that we don’t have to accept the status quo. It is a conversation, a call for empathy, and a celebration of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
In his third collection of poems, C.R. Reardon delves into his past with his most raw works yet. As he writes in the book’s opening poem ‘Transference’: “Here I am/Bleeding on the page.” The book’s title—a reference to the author’s actual day of birth in 1986—is an indication of the dark places these poems reflect upon. However, that is not to say this collection does not have works of levity like ‘A Hear Attack is Necessary to Live’, charming texts like ‘The Great Bobo’, or pieces that are empowering like ‘Stay Broken’. From the author’s childhood brain tumor, to his subsequent disability, to his lack of romantic relationships, to his embrace of the so-called “darkness” of his life, Born on Friday the 13th is bound to take its readers on an emotional journey.
In C.R. Reardon's second collection of poetry, the author (handicapped from complications with proton radiation on a brain tumor diagnosed at age eight) again takes the reader on a journey from melancholy and angst to enlightenment and optimism. The first section of poems is titled Seeds because the author is trying to demonstrate his belief that to become more human one must come from a darker place. In the second section the author delves into more personal, darker poems that gradually take a turn to the political. The third section of poems reflects on the small pleasures of life, and the books title comes from the sections last poem"Torghatten"--a mountain in Norway with a hole through its center.
Hard Polish is C.R. Reardon's third self-published book, and is his first book consisting of strictly poems. Although several of the poems in Hard Polish can be found in his memoir Spawning Gray, Hard Polish has 30 new poems that have been recently written or are old poems that have been revised. This selection of poems take the reader on a journey from profound events in the author's early life, through his perspective on current events, and to the formation of his identity.
