“With razor sharp satirical wit and ironic humor Paul Richmond, Beat Poet 
Laureate of the USA, flays the skin 
and slices the vein unleashing the 
bloody truth of modern civilization. 

“THE 24 HOUR STORE WAS CLOSED 
                                  is brilliant!”
​
   --Ron Whitehead,  Outlaw Poet
Kentucky Beat  Poet Laureate

"Maybe all life is preparing for 'The test/ We can only pass if we waste no time/ thinking we can study for it.' If so, Chris Stroffolino's carelessly brilliant poems would be as invaluable as cliff notes. In any case they come in handy."  

​
—John Ashbery, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Self-Portrait in a Convex Mirror
Picture
A collaborative poetry collection written  thanks to a facebook writing exercise by James P. Wagner (Ishwa) and over 30 other poets. He provided the first and third verses of each poem, and the other poets wrote the 2nd and 4th. Each poem represents a unique take on the same starting verse. "A Pathway To Dreams" shows the true strength of collaborative poetry.
