Harry Crews Biography
A short time ago I was
informed I’m in the new Harry Crews biography Blood, Bone And Marrow by Ted
Geltner. I ordered a copy and when it arrived, I opened it to see my name in
the index. With a smile, I turned the pages and saw my time spent interviewing
Harry typed within. This book is well put together and is a wonderful read.
It’s definitely worth the buy. Pick up a copy today and enjoy the life and
times of one of the greatest writers of our time!

The Truth Is Told Better This Way
Liz Worth :
The Truth Is Told Better This Way. It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of Liz Worth
and have been since the first time I ran across her work. She is one of my
all-time favorite writers and I am lucky enough to call her my friend. Her work
and friendship have helped me through some very difficult times. She is
original, fearless, and true to herself. All of these qualities shine brightly
in the text of her new book. It’s apparent to me her words will be around for
generations to come.
The first book I read by her was, Eleven Eleven. It’s
still one of my favorite works of poetry she’s done. I was more than thrilled
to be reminded of that masterpiece while reading through the pages of “The
Truth Is Told Better This Way.” Like the dots of George Seurat producing a
timeless work of art, Liz punched letter by letter, word by word, into a book
of poetry perfection. Her view of the world is transcended so beautifully
within these pages I think anyone who loves poetry would love this book. Pick
up a copy today and enjoy the words of Worth. A true artist of our time.

Amanda Palmer
Dear Amanda
I dig you!
I’m so happy
You’re not like the rest
I pass on the street!
Each block holds
A thousand people’s dreams
Resting in the city’s insides
Trapped forever
In its hopeless heartbeat
Yet
I see your spirit shouting skyward
Upward and outward
Gently nudging artists of the
world
To keep pushing and creating!
I say to the artist
The poets
The writers
The musicians
Reach in and find yourself
Your work
Your voice
Deserves to be heard
Find your tribe in life
And
If you can’t find it
Make your own
Look inside
Pry inside your soul
With the claws life has given
you
Find yourself, it’s worth
finding!
Oh Amanda
Humanity has a habit
Of
Smothering humans with rules
Of uniformity
Of color-coded sheep fleeces
And
Dress codes for the masses
Of geographical beliefs
That their world is right
And
All others are wrong
Of conduct constructed
completely
With agendas and genders in
mind
Yet
Between the rules and
regulations
Of life there is the voice of
the artist
Like you
Like Kathleen Hanna
Like Ian Mackaye
Giving the rest of us hope
Like stars a sailor sets sail
to
In the darkness
Not knowing if he will see
land
In the sunrise of tomorrow
Or
The dark clouds of a hurricane
The youth puts faith in the
ones
Who has come before them
Not knowing what’s in
The next day’s sunrise
But having your words and
songs
To weather whatever the storm
