Sobre IBD

Hollywood. Love it or hate it, there is no denying that its influence is far-reaching and consequential. Poet Laurence Overmire takes us deep into the dark heart of the tinsel town world he knows very well; a world where pretense is a virtue, make-believe is real, and money is a provocative plaything. Behind those dark sunglasses it may be easy to lose sight of who we really are. Have you Gone Hollywood? Have your relatives, your friends, your neighbors? Be ready to drop the shades as you turn these pages and take a good look at the realities behind the illusions.
