Alex Parkview is the pen name of a former Army combat veteran who served twenty-seven months in the sandbox during a six-year enlistment. Now a single father to two grown daughters, he trades patrols for pine ridges, 4 a.m. trail starts, and a grey cat named Erebus claiming permanent shoulder duty. His headphones stay polyjamorous—Johnny Cash ghosts, Britney demands, Kesha glitters, Lorna Shore drops abyssal riffs, Cat Stevens brings it home—looping in perfect chaos for one listener. When not chasing first light or unearthing Nag Hammadi codices and suppressed gospels, he writes blunt, scarred memoirs and sermon-style reflections on moral injury, PTSD recovery, chronic pain, fatherhood, and scandalously simple grace. His "From the Ruins" series—including Cathedral of Scars, Doors Wide in the Ruins, Letters from the Ruins, and Altars in the Ruins—transforms wreckage into altars of redemption. It's the sound of a man who walked through fire and is still standing—held together by grace, stubborn persistence, his kids, and the small anchors that keep showing up each day. Follow for more raw words from the trail.
