Rumble & Flash
A.(Chad Allen) Elliott’s path in poetry began with a love of music. For over 20 years Elliott has performed his original songs across the U.S. winning several awards for composition, such as the Woody Guthrie Songwriting Award in 2009. Elliott has penned nearly 2,000 songs. Early in his career, he learned some verses need no musical embellishment. They stand alone in their own cadence.
“…Chad Elliott stands out as a timeless and genuine musical poet with supple-strong roots like the bluestem and buffalo grass of Iowa prairie.” - NoDepression.com
In Rumble & Flash, Elliott shares poems composed on the road. These poems are steeped in archetypal themes like fatherhood, love, nature, and spirituality. Rumble & Flash was released on April 3, 2018 through Yellow Suit Publishing.
“Chad Elliott takes cultural adventurers to new realms in RUMBLE & FLASH. His content is beautifully accessible, openly inviting. Published as a collection of poems, between this book’s covers lies a vast network of creative pathways to explore. Poems, lyrics without music, future songs, unfiltered observations – Elliott shares with the wonder and appreciation of a child, embodied in an experienced, well-traveled troubadour.” - John Busbee, The Culture Buzz on KFMG

Wilderman's Treetop Tales
Other published works by C. A. Elliott include a children’s titled, Wilderman’s Treetop Tales. Author’s Favorite lauded the book saying, "Author Chad Elliott has outdone himself by incorporating music, poetry, stories, and illustrations all into one book."
Wilderman's Treetop Tales is a collection of original, whimsical poems and paintings. (Think Shel Silverstein, but with more color and a song album.) The book is designed with children in mind and contains both heartwarming and giggle-worthy poetry accompanied by Elliott’s own illustrations. In addition to the book, Elliott also released an accompanying album of original songs based on the poetry of Wilderman's Treetop Tales. Together, the book and album create an interdisciplinary offering of art, music and writing that allows the whole family to embrace wild imagination. Elliott is currently working on the second installment in the series, Wilderman's River Rhymes.
