History


“Humans have the ability to rewrite history. Within a few decades it is not even questioned. Stories of the past become as real as the world you walk through today. Wars are waged over false history. Sins are denied. All for mankind to move forward and feel comfortable about its past. Your true history is written in the stars. Look up, breathe in, and be humbled by the ones who came before you. The ones who have suffered, who have endured, who have overcome. Their blood is alive in you. Their spirits roam freely in the heavens above.” Jason E. Hodges, When The Cedars Shade Your Grave

When The Cedars Shade Your Grave

Jason E. Hodges grew up the youngest of seven children. On a janitor’s income supplemented by the family’s backyard garden his father taught his children the value of hard work and determination. These lessons of pushing forward during difficult times his parents learned while growing up during the Great Depression. Jason was diagnosed with dyslexia at a young age and would need these tools of perseverance if he was ever going to make it as a writer. His first published work came in 1994. Now his poetry, prose, and quotes have been read all over the world. Along with his books and blog, The Dirt Worker’s Journal, Jason has made a lasting impression on the writing community. When The Cedars Shade Your Grave, his fifth book, is a beautifully crafted refection of the day-to-day life of this contemporary writer and poet.
