About Upcoming Book of Poetry

My fellow artists and readers, I just want to give you an update in regards to my earlier announcement made about my upcoming book of poetry entitled, "Zen is Now." I was hoping to have completed the editing process and to be speaking about its release on Smashword, as well as Barnes & Noble.com, by now. Truth of the matter is the editing process has taking much longer than I anticipated. 

Not to lose heart! Because I have my nose fixed to the grinding stone and shall be giving you follow up announcements, not only on my progress, but on a foreseeable release date. I also will be giving you explicit instructions on how to order an electronic copy in advance of the book's release schedule. So stay tuned and be on the lookout for my future news blasts concerning the book, "Zen is Now" and its arrival!

Also, for the benefit of any newcomers who did not receive my original social media notification, here's a little information taken from the book's preface.

"Zen is Now" is a compilation of nearly 30 years of my poetry material, many of which you might've heard and seen me perform on stage. Some of which you may not be acquainted with. There are also a few new verses included as well. In all, "Zen is Now" is the product of my personal, philosophical ruminations of this experience called life, as well my view to attaining the coveted state of Zen. Each poem reflects my inner voice in a variety of contrasting ways. Some are light and jovial. Others are dark and foreboding. There are even a few comical as well as contrasting deep, metaphysical reflections.

In all, I believe you will discover "Zen is Now" to be a rare odyssey into the inner workings of my mind as an artist. I encourage you to sit back with your favorite cup of Joe and enjoy reading this collection.
