Goldfish Logic

About the Book

Herein lies a collection of the greatest poems ever composed? No, not quite, though in truth this could be the case. Rather Goldfish Logic is one man's version of events as he has experienced them. Everything written here is true, that is to say, that it happened, is happening, or will happen in the future. The material is neither distilled, derived, nor fabricated. On the contrary, it is first hand reportage from the front line of living. It is living itself, that is art and poetry is a vital documentary about that artistry. Feelings never die, they are merely suppressed and produce other feelings in their wake. You will find all of these in this collection.
