Twenty years of (mostly previously published) collected poetry.

From award winning author, actor, poet, Larry Crist, comes his first compilation of new and selected poems in twenty years.

From the author: I'm an only child. My parents were as well Both lost their mothers early, their fathers too I was raised on a goat farm in the California wine country. I learned to read before kindergarten That first year of school was okay I'm sorry i didn't go out for football in high school I did a lot of drugs and spent a year in jail instead I earned an MFA in theatre from Temple U. as well as a useless BA at HSU, Humboldt County, California I studied English & History, attended an acting academy in my early 20s, and never graduated high school I don't have a tv. I have a cell phone, but can barely use it My particular form of ADD prevents me from reading directions. Whenever i read something, telling me how to do something i invariably focus on how bad the writing is I love baseball. I ache for it and the kind of weather it accompanies. I love tigers and cats and crows I find cooking therapeutic and have always had a fear of starving to death. I prefer pie to cake but have no taste for either unless i smoke weed. I love to walk especially around Green Lake when it is sunny I would love to do this while walking a tiger. I would probably have a beer, because no one is going to bother you about drinking when you're out walking a tiger
