Lit. Update: Future Steps
It feels good to finally have my poetry book released in some form. However, the work doesn't stop there. Now I face the challenges of promoting it.

“Free-will (and Other Lies)” – Poetry
A moving picture postcard, animated scenery, and dramas taken from the pages of a scripted comedy. What is it you see? Just what you expect: Material from Vaudeville and conveniences that lack All purpose, life, and passion - Set designs so cold and wooden. Who is there behind it? Who has fed the Beast?
