Byways is a story told through poetry about walking on the wayside. There is something profound about simply putting one foot in front of the other, while the automobiles hurtle past. You see the same grand vistas, the same densely-packed woods as the people flying by, but there are many things that they will never know: The dense fog of the morning stillness, the endless repetition of the gravel flowing beneath, the quiet solitude of the mystic pines. There are always two roads, the worn and the byway, and it is up to you alone to decide which to take. Explore these everyday journeys of loss, growth, love, and the human experience in this captivating collection. Jack Hellberg is a young writer who grew up near the valley of Los Angeles, California. After leaving home, Jack began attending Brandeis University. He is now attending the University of Aberdeen, Scotland, in pursuit of his Master of Arts degree in psychology.Jack Hellberg is also an avid film photographer. All the images presented in this collection have been pulled from his portfolio. Although he uses a variety of cameras ranging in manufacture from the early 1900s to the 1960s, his camera of choice is the 1957 Hasselblad 500C. Byways is Jack Hellberg's debut collection, although his poetry has already received literary recognition, including a Gold Key Scholastic Art & Writing Award.

    This is not a book to rush through, but rather a poetic journey with twists and turns, rich in imagery and ideas that will beckon questions from within your own soul. There is both a disarming simplicity to appreciate and a deep reservoir to explore in this surprisingly mature debut work. With engaging allusions and clever homage paid to his predecessors, this young author clearly has further roads ahead that I will like to travel.

    I adore Jack Hellberg's book of poetry, "Byways"! This young man writes with an old soul's eye and ear. His poems have the depth of someone decades older. Jack isn't afraid to delve into the most difficult subjects and explore them with honesty and sensitivity. And as an added bonus, Jack's photographs are also strewn throughout the book. I can't wait to see what else this young man publishes in the future. He is definitely a poet to watch!
