Inspired by real experiences from his time as a psychiatric social worker, Butler’s new collection brings a raw and honest look into the human mind.
United States, 22nd Dec 2025 – Award-winning artist and poet G. Larry Butler is proud to announce the release of his powerful new Poetry Book, Here Lies Madness: Bizarre Tales of Troubled Minds – A Collection of Poetry That Will Chill Your Soul, now available on Amazon in paperback and hardcover editions.
This Poetry Book takes readers deep into the unguarded corners of the human mind, where sanity trembles, emotions roar, and truth wears many masks. Through words that are bold, emotional, and unforgettable, G. Larry Butler invites readers to see madness not as weakness but as a mirror reflecting the most human parts of us all.
A Deep Dive into the Human Psyche
Here Lies Madness isn’t a typical Poetry Book. It’s a raw and personal exploration of the mind and spirit. Each poem tells a story inspired by the author’s experiences working as a psychiatric social worker. The voices that echo through these pages belong to people who have faced the storms of their own minds and survived.
Butler’s poetry combines imagination, truth, and emotion. He takes readers on a journey through despair and beauty, pain and peace. His writing reminds us that we all carry pieces of madness within us, and that it’s often within chaos that we find creativity, understanding, and connection.
The Story Behind the Words
G. Larry Butler’s creative journey began long before this collection. In 1986, his poem Here Lies Madness won a prestigious award presented by the legendary actor Vincent Price. That early recognition set the stage for a lifetime of artistic exploration. Since then, Butler has published his poems, stories, and articles in newspapers, magazines, and anthologies.
Armed with degrees in Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology, Butler brings an analytical mind to his art. His work examines people, places, and philosophies with sharp insight. As a poet and observer, he sees the world through the lens of human experience, exploring both its beauty and its darkness.
A Multi-Talented Artist
Beyond his work as a poet, G. Larry Butler is also an award-winning actor and a professional pianist. His performances on stage and screen have earned him praise for their intensity and depth. That same dramatic passion shines through in his writing. Every line of his poetry feels alive, filled with rhythm, emotion, and honesty.
In Here Lies Madness, Butler brings together all his talents. His sense of performance meets his understanding of the human mind, creating poetry that is vivid, haunting, and deeply moving. Readers will feel as though they are watching scenes unfold before their eyes, each verse a frame in a larger emotional story.
The Message Within the Madness
G. Larry Butler wrote Here Lies Madness with a purpose, to turn pain into poetry and confusion into understanding. The author shares, “I wrote this collection to release the chaos that lives within us all. Madness is not just mental; it’s emotional, spiritual, and profoundly human.”
Through his words, Butler challenges the idea that “madness” must be feared or hidden. Instead, he shows that within struggle lies beauty, within heartbreak lies art, and within silence lies truth. His message is one of empathy and courage.
Readers who pick up this Poetry Book will find themselves reflecting on their own emotions and experiences. The poems invite them to face their inner thoughts with honesty and acceptance.
For Readers Who Crave Truth in Art
This collection is written for people who are not afraid to look inward. It will speak to anyone who values honesty, emotion, and imagination. If you love poetry that touches the soul and makes you think long after the last page, Here Lies Madness belongs on your shelf.
Butler’s work blends philosophical insight with vivid imagery, balancing light and dark, fear and beauty. Each poem opens a window into the mind and the heart. This Poetry Book is more than reading material, it’s an experience of feeling and reflection.
