Read OnlineAlexander Steele meets with his friends for help in the Case of the Death Dealer. Time is running out for Steele to prevent the shipment of fast killing drugs from hitting the streets of Philly.This poem set journeys into the postmodern American psyche. The book walks the streets in ecclesiast humor, insight, meditation, and atomic power of desire for culture. An odyssey offering commercial mind's regress wrote to our age of medication and lack of focus. How our deepest desire for love, lust, and lucidity all commingle. Ideas about culture ranging from classical past, to stagnate commercial present. The poems bend and blend our heritage, and create no distinction between our loves and commercial vapidity. The book starts in the funny trippy way some pop culture personas have influenced our lives. From Cary Grant dropping acid in the 50's, to the salacious Debbie of Dallas the book covers the gamut of pop culture. The book then goes into a dream state of pop culture. Popular pop subjects Kurt Vonnegut, Orson Welles, Sergei Eisenstein, tripping to a movie theater, subway voyage, Bonnie Raitt, and Michael Bolton turning and twisting into a mind meld. The Jeremiads arriving last into our collective unconsciousness on the foibles of our society. With poems on Jersey Shore, cell phones, righteous persons, and a Howl inspired poem called 2 My Generation (The Baby Boomers Children). This book can not be missed. It will tap you consciousness, inspire, and drive your soul. The first work penned from a unique and embryonic writer.
