                                                Publisher.

                                                Six Ft. Swells

                                

    

 From a perfect introduction written by poet and publisher Todd Cirillo.

This book starts out guns blazing with what I do consider one of the best books I have had the true pleasure of reading in a long while. 

Wolfgang displays that razor sharp wit from the starting gate with writes like.

Slave Lake, 2014.

A write that displays tremendous humor and a determination to stand one's ground literally come hell and high water.

Moving on to writes like, i passed.

Once displays a love between two people on the deepest of levels.

This collection moves extremely quick and will have you turning the pages only yearning for more.

In later writes such as, when Raven is a perfect example of a father's worry over a missing child

And in all truth one of the best poems I have read in awhile. 

Wolfgang can shift gears easily and with expert precision upon his choosing.

His style is personal yet tremendously infused fantastic wit.

Hell and High Water is not a good book it is a great book.

And all the way till it's closing write, strange.

It commands your attention.

Wolfgang is a force unto himself.

I highly recommend picking yourself up a copy today.

As this is truly a one of a kind book.

Keep drinking and reading.

DIFLUCAN by Wayne F. Burke

Publisher 

       BareBackPress

There are poets and then there is Wayne F. Burke.

If you are familiar with this pull no punches writer then you will certainly want to grab a copy of Wayne's newest book from BareBackPress.

DIFLUCAN.

Wayne's style is fast and extremely well crafted.

And from writes early in this collection like
Happy Birthday.

We see a poet that would make Bukowski proud.
And clearly displays a man you do not want to test.

Into other writes like 2.
That show the wisdom of a life lived and the quick witted brilliance of a true poet.

This is a extremely well put together collection.

That moves quickly delivers that brilliant sarcasm and grit Wayne has in spades.

With writes that take us back to better days.
Like Batman.

Once reminds the reader of far more simple times yet still fully displays that signature style.

And further writes like The Ruler.
Which clearly display why I am damn glad to not be a child anymore and the hell of school years.

This collection takes us through the past of one's life growing up.

And is a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Once any true poetry fan will go through this book like a hot knife through butter.

As once you pick this one up you certainly wont want to put this one down.

And as the collection winds down Burke shows no signs of taking his foot off the gas pedal.

And in later writes like Suspect.

He displays that hard edged style I have truly come to admire.

DIFLUCAN is a pull no punches book.

And I will say for any true fan of poetry.
You would be doing your bookshelves a great disservice by not having this title in your collection.

I highly recommend this book once is available on Amazon.

Check it out and get yourself a copy on the link below.

Until next time folks keep drinking and reading.

Cheers.
