Poetry. In this searing collection of poetry by the author of CHUMP CHANGE, Fante tracks twenty years of excess: booze, drugs, and women. He infuses his poetry with bawdy humor, philosophical sensibilities, and tales of private hell of his own making. His distinct voice reads like short stories from his diary pages, with glimpses of his travels, women, friends, and most memorably, the haunts of his famous father, the author John Fante. The poems are complemented with the unique paintings and drawings from the diary collection of his friend, Michael Napper. Foreword by Joyce Fante and introduction by Ben Pleasants.

Synopsis:

Dan Fante is a writer for the new century. His Chump Change and Mooch have received rave reviews worldwide. Using his disordered life as the source for his semi-autobiographical books, Fante chronicles over 29 years of self-abuse through marijuana, cocaine and, most destructively, alcohol, and his impossible road to survival and recovery. Here now is an intimate poetic record of Fante's examination of his own depths - a wide and wild, alternately comic and tragic experience of his personal and literary struggles.
