Who is
Cornelius Cornelius?

The poet and digital artist who goes under the name “Cornelius Cornelius” has seen a lot in life.

He has lived in the USA, in Europe and in parts of Asia.

He has worked as a fry cook, a traveling salesman, a university lecturer and a briefly owned a bar.

He has been to war for his country and afterward dedicated his life to finding the way to peace for the soul.

He has known love three times, married twice (once it ended badly, the second time it went well), and conceived three children – two boys and one girl – he has made mistakes with them he can never undo, but has also pursued their welfare to his utmost abilities.

He loves this life as it is, with all its frustrations, tragedies and challenges.

He believes we were made to create our lives as if we were divine artists creating a singular masterpiece – which he believes life, in the end, is.

For Poetry & Purpose he has agreed to provide art and poetry, and will publish books of visual poetry and illustrated parables in Hula Ink.

The first book

You Will Find Love

It’s with great pleasure I present the first book of work of Cornelius Cornelius, poet and digital artist.

This book is a poem of hope and reassurance for those living for a brief moment without love – it was conceived and created to give only this message:

That you will find love.

There is no greater duty, no greater joy, no greater blessing than to love and be loved.

And yet we all fall upon times when there is no love in sight.

Digital artist and poet Cornelius Cornelius created this illustrated poem to reassure those who for a short time may now wander in despair that love will come to them – inevitably, inexorably, in its own time.

You will love this illustrated poem because it speaks a truth about love and life. If you give it as a gift to one who needs it, they will love it because they will know they are not alone.

One poem, 26 images. Available on Amazon.
