#MayMontage #FaceOnCover playing catch up!😁

But this is all speculation, mediation, nay, emasculation...I find in you a kindred absorption with identity, dramatic meaning, classic unity, and immortality: you pace a stage, yet sit in the boxes and watch. You seek identity in the midst of indistinguishable chaos, in sprawling nameless reality. Like myself, you deserve the Adlerian verdict...He who seeks all knowledge, and then all life and all power...He is egocentric. How paltry is the def.

#poetrymonth Kudos to #CityLights for being a great bookstore & publisher! Their pocket poets series was affordable & would fit in your pocket!
🤗 enjoy @wanderinglynn

The book was pretty good as I recall , I read it in 2009 . Nobody stuck with Jack for long , bad behavior in the name of freedom can get tired day to day. my dysfunctional book fascinations will always include the beats.( NY Times)

It's the first time I've set foot in a bookstore in over a year. Happy independent bookstore day! #independantbookstoreday #BrowsersofOlympia #orcabookscoop #counterpointbooks #themayorofOly

I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join the fun if you want.
This is day 136
