Author Description

This is noted Texas activist and Beat Poet, PW Covington's most extensive and ranging poetry collection to date. Accompanied by provocative photographic art, this collection spans some of Covington's most prolific periods from 1996-the current day. Some rarely performed pieces are published here for the first time, including "Mine is the Texas" and "A Poem to a Child on the Day of his Birth". Deliberately breaking from the "War Poet" mold that PW has occasionally found himself trapped and limited by with the success of his debut poetry book, "Like the Prayers of an Infidel", this volume rounds out his material and his voice. A unique foreword, written by those that know the poet best offers additional insight into the creative power that some have described as the heart of the "Beat poetry, military counter-culture". Recommended for mature audiences.
