A History of Guns in the Family
by John Burgess

Description

A second impressive collection from John Burgess, following up on his Punk Poems and expanding into an expression, from many viewpoints, of a whole life that moved across the continent, from upstate New York, to Washington State and took with it the zen, punk, beat, historical curiosity and unabashed (if ironic) happiness it found on the trip. The free, open and reflective balanced poems appeal to a wide audience and are often performed by the author with beat-influenced live music — the author and the audience have a great time.
