CLASH Poems From Conflict Zones

CLASH Poems From Conflict Zones

Explore the raw and evolutionary power of conflict through Jo Patti's poetry and her son, Denali Schmidt's stunning artwork. 


This edgy collection is not for the faint-hearted, but for those seeking profound insights into the dynamics of tension and its potential for provoking change.


Denali Schmidt was born in Macksville, Australia on April 27, 1988. He attended Waldorf Schools in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and Germany. Denali graduated from California College of the Arts (CCA) with a Bachelor Degree of Fine Arts in Painting and Design, in May 2013. Denali died in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan, sometime between July 27 and 28, 2013, while helping his father, Marty Schmidt, attempt his third summit of K2. Also known as "The Savage Mountain." Their bodies have not yet been found.


May you find some relief and deeper understanding of the complexities in relationships after contemplating these poems and Denali’s paintings.


The audio version of this book is read by the author Jo Patti on Audible and recorded at The Talking Book in North Carolina.
