Author Description

A hip-hop artist, a bus driver, a lawyer, a newspaper stacker, and an eldercare specialist walk into a bar... actually, they write a book... really. No joke. These poems are serious grist for digesting life. They'll make you laugh (check out the first one), dream of the dancer at the bar last night (58th), ponder on pelicans (44th), worry about what's in your bed (17th from last), and question the direction society is taking (the last one). Sometimes through humor, but more oftenthrough a new perspective on life's common events, these poems wrestle with the reality of living in the 21st century.
