About Me

BEER SONGS FOR THE LONELY
Beer Songs is an intoxicated ramble of the Parisian streets. It is un-apologetic, surrealistic, funny, sometimes sloppy, and always full of life. It is a cry of loneliness and a cry of passion. It is meant to be read out-loud over a mug of beer, or two, or three ...

Professional Review:
BEER SONGS FOR THE LONELY , was recently reviewed by Leon Smith, Editor-in-Chief at the incredible LONE STAR ICONOCLAST .
Here’s the last paragraph of my first professional review:
“Of the 24 entries, four of which are subparts of a segment called Vacuum Dance, perhaps the most outstanding are "Her," "Fast Train," and, the most impressive of the lot, the poem listed under Vacuum Dance called "The Market" which is mesmerizing, gritty, and literally a work of art that extends universally beyond the realms of most contemporary poetry. This particular poem is a treasure that deserves a seat in future great works of literature collections.”

Thanks!
