Overview
Visionary Poetry For A New Age A sprawling work of poetry and original illustrations; a lone cry of freedom far out in the wild perimeters of civilization. And throughout the book there is a love of rhythm, nature, and of the communal alchemy of sharing bold truths with fellow souls around a literary campfire. Styles range from jaunty wordplay to languid surrealist phantasms, with odes to rainforests, rock stars and robber barons, to elegies of loved ones passed, cinematic dreams and surrealist fantasies, self-reflections and realizations. Featuring 13 dreamlike line drawings created in pen and ink.

Reviews
If steampunk ever transformed into lyrical form, this book would be the melody...Dark and delightfully twisty. -W. C. The wild, post-apocalytpic imagery, pacing, and disjointed structure of the poetry in this volume immediately called to mind The Wasteland by T.S. Elliot for this reader. -J. B. By no means a bedtime read, this book, a beautiful amalgam of poetry and prose, needs the reader to be alert and engaged on various levels to be able to fully enjoy the poet's creativity. -M Buy this book and you won't be disappointed! -L. R.
