Synopsis

There's a hell inside of all of us, whether we're going through hard times financially or we're being victimized because of who we are. This collection is written for all of us sharing in some of the roughest parts of our lives. It's written to shed light on the LGBT discrimination, the laws that are being discussed to keep LGBTQ people out of states and businesses, even to put people like me to death. It's written for the 86% of LGBTQ Youth who report being bullied in school, who are 4 times more likely to commit suicide which the chances only increase when they are victimized. It's also written for those who've have their car towed away, lost a loved one, or are going through a rough break up. There's a little bit of everything in here.

About this title

About the Author

Weasel is a writer and overall degenerate poet. He received his Bachelor of Arts in Literature at the University of Houston-Clear Lake and has been a member of the Houston/Clear Lake poetry scene ever since. He has had a few appearances on 90.1 KPFT's Living Art and has had the fortunate opportunity to release a full length poetry collection titled Ashes to Burn through Transcendent Zero Press. He has also self-published a small chapbook titled Y’all Muthafucka’s Need Jesus. He expects to have 2 more book releases during 2015 through Earl of Plaid and Kool Kids Press. Weasel has appeared in an indie documentary titled Something Out of Nothing (S.O.O.N.) directed by Mitchell Dudley. His writing has been accepted in several anthologies, some of which include: Houston’s Harbinger Asylum, San Jacinto College’s Threshold, Permian Basin Beyond 2014,Hunger For Peace, Everything on Earth is Huge and We’re All On It, Ginosko Literary Journal, Crazy Concrete, Blue Collar Royalty, Di-Verse-City from the 2012, 2013, 2014 & 2015 Austin International Poetry Festival. He fell into the publishing world after a couple years of releasing the growing literary anthology Vagabonds: Anthology of the Mad Ones. The anthology is still going and continues to feature several talented writers and artists in the community. Weasel Press grew from the idea that we’re all mad artists, and is now home to several wonderful individuals. The press has spawned a few other literary journals and continues to be a thriving force in the world of writers. Some of Weasel's influences include: Hunter S. Thompson, William S. Burroughs, Arthur C. Clarke, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, Clive Barker, Thomas Mann, Virginia Woolf, F.
