About the Author

Milton Joseph Batson is a poet and author whose life experiences have profoundly shaped his unique perspective on faith, humanity, and the American ideal. A veteran of the U.S. Air Force’s Space and Missile Program, he brings a blend of technical expertise and profound introspection to his writing. His work explores the complexities of life with wisdom and grace, drawing on decades of personal and professional experiences.

Across his three published books, “The Heart of Milton,” Batson explores several overarching themes:

Faith and Spirituality:
A profound and unwavering faith, a deep-seated belief in Almighty God, permeates his work, serving as both a moral compass and a grounding force in his reflections on life. This faith isn’t merely a belief system; it’s the bedrock of his being, shaped by a lifetime of experiences—a journey mirroring the rich tapestry of Milton Joseph Batson’s own life, from childhood to his current eighty-four years. His observations, born from this deeply held faith, offer not just insights but a wisdom gained through decades of navigating life’s complexities, offering workable solutions and hope in a world often marked by confusion. This spiritual foundation informs his unique perspective, providing a resonant depth to his observations and a powerful connection with his readers.
Love and Family: The importance of love, family, and strong familial bonds is a recurring motif, highlighting the enduring power of human connection.
Patriotism and Civic Duty: A strong sense of patriotism and a belief in the American ideal are central to his writing, particularly in his third book, where he addresses current societal challenges and calls for a renewed commitment to American values.
Personal Growth and Reflection: Batson’s writing encourages introspection and personal growth, inviting readers to reflect on their own lives and values. His work offers a journey of self-discovery and a search for meaning in a complex world.

MY BOOKS

What Others have to say

As an English major and teacher I am happy to write a favorable review of "The Heart of Milton." What impresses me about this compilation of poetry is that it really is the life work of Milton Batson. All the poems are dated and span six decades of life. It is like reading an autobiography through poetry. In this modern age of quick throw away texts, Facebook posts, hashtags, and snap chats, this is a refreshing look back into what the written word used to be. If you are a fan of poetry, you will love "The Heart of Milton." At times it is funny, other times serious, so there is something for everyone in it.

Fanatic book! Couldn't put it down. As I was taken through a journey through time, my heart went through many emotions of triumph, revelation, sorrow, rejoicing, laughing, and contemplation. Hope fills every page, and passion drives the vision this extraordinary gentleman conveys. Truly a remarkable encounter; I was wonderfully drawn into this adventure of the soul immediately after stepping into the very first page. Magnificent miniature hand drawn (by the author himself) masterpieces accompany each poem, which add to the heights you will rise and the depths you will be thrust into. The detail and thought going in to each literary creation brings life out of the ordinary, and describes with vivid vibrancy the indescribable sentiments of the soul. A breath of fresh air for anyone who loves to get swept away in expression that is captivating, romantic, patriotic, courageous, thoughtful, pure and deeply heartfelt with great abandon. A wonderful gift to give to anyone anywhere. The world needs to hear, taste, touch, see, and feel through Milton's glorious perspective. Don't miss out! You'll enjoy every minute! Best entertainment I have enjoyed at such a ridiculously low price. Truly a treasure!! I can't say enough how this one book has transformed my life.

"These are my observations developed over my eighty six years of life experience. During that time I have been a father of seven, grandfather of twenty seven, great grandfather of five, and still kicking. When I get to those pearly gates of Heaven, the gatekeeper better stand aside because I'm coming in (smiley face). "
