South Carolina Poems is the shamanic journey of a young healer meeting many spirits in and around a rented house in South Carolina during the autumn of 2021.

Phoenix poems is a series of poems that takes place in Phoenix, Arizona, and tracks magic, mystery and mayhem through the eyes of a young shaman recovering from a psychosis. The work spans two months in time and features many spirits from nature, cartoons and the realms of fairies. It is intended in this form as both an act and work of healing, for a generation of disenfranchised youth struggling with issues of drug addiction, law enforcement and sexual trauma.

This collection of poetry follows a Shaman and artist through his travails as he learns the secret wisdom to killing a house, reviving a landscape and releasing his own mind from captivity. Featuring fairies, pixies, gnomes, elves, many animal spirits, cartoons and more, it is a true adventure through unknown territories. It takes place on a road just outside of Chico, California.

This book of poems is equal parts reminiscence, reflection and ode to the times of youth we spend in the homes we love. Written entirely from his own bedroom home, Felix Cooper has protected his memories like precious gems and shares many of them here for the first time.

The combined volumes span two and a half years of Felix's initiation into shamanism, a time of vast change, personal growth and spiritual education. He is currently working on a series, including the second volume of this work, "Mall House Poems Volume 2: Losing It", based upon the time following his initiation and leading to his extradition from Mall House in Bath Spa, England. Accompanying artworks and his first deck of tarot-inspired cards, The Feliverse Divination Deck is available on his website, www.thefelixverse.com.
