Text & Commentary: My First Nine Lives
My first book of poems. 1993. Published by Mandala Books, which also published MAN! magazine, a book of children's poems by David Kramer, and three books by Dan Jones. I was turning 40 and realized that Knopf or Norton were not going to publish my poems. The New Yorker and Georgia Review wanted nothing to do with me. But I thought that I was a poet or at least becoming one. So I threw down this marker! Includes 95 poems beginning with poems I wrote in 1968, as age 15. Includes prose commentary about who the young man writing these poems appears to be. Out of Print, but I still have a few copies I can part with.
