Beyond Redemption

About the Book

I have been described as being “Beyond Redemption”. I have been described as the devil incarnate. I have been defying all the rules of modern and classical poetry for over forty years. In terms of success the only difference between me and Charles Bukowski is my lack of an angel such as Black Sparrow Press to devote all their resources to publishing exclusively my work. This is damn good shit. If you read it, I guarantee you’ll like it.
