I published my first booklet of poems Noon Moon Days in 1969 (age 19) after I had turned on, tuned in and dropped out. I figured if Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Allen Ginsberg and other great American writers could self-publish, I could too. I sold my poems in Berkeley and San Francisco('Hey, real San Francisco beat poetry right here!'). I published two other poem booklets duringthis fertile period of my life, as well as a larger collection, and a short one-man, one-act play, allincluded herein. The poem booklets sold for a dollar but see, my room rent was only $35 amonth. That’s what an expensive, exclusive prep school education in Manhattan could do foryour kid in the ’60s..Everybody has some boxes of old nostalgia somewhere in storage, right? I looked throughone of my boxes and I decided to publish these poems because I think they still hold up.OK, some of them are juvenile, rebellious, and weird. But remember that youth is about self-discovery, ideals and betrayal. Have you forgotten? Ha, maybe this collection will bring asmile to your face and spark some memories of your own youthful and creative moments.
