Synopsis

Luis Blasini composes a book of prose ripped straight from the gutters of Hell. His poetry will not be for everyone. He is dirty, crude, has an almost absolute reliance on free verse, and is rather graphic when it comes to sex and booze. Blasini goes straight for the jugular.This is not poetry for the meek at heart. Class Conscious Poetry is, however, very funny and very direct., resonating with brilliance.There is no craft here. The poetry flows from Blasini's hand with such ease that it's akin to the remark said about Kerouac: "It's just typing."

About this title

About the Author

Born in the Deep South to a lower upper middle class family, Luis Blasini was raised in Los Angeles, California as an ardent fan of the arts. Attending film school and majoring in English Literature at a Southern California University - Luis was influenced by avant-garde film directors and well read in the written works of the Beat Generation. Graduating with honors in both Cinema Direction and Literature, Bored by the plastic fakes of Los Angeles, he relocated to the slums of Tijuana, Mexico where, integrating with the junkies, thieves, male hustlers, and notorious expat homosexuals of Zona Norte, the Author continued to keep detailed journals of his deliciously degenerate lifestyle among the back alleys of the border slums. Going on a 'Kerouac Kick', he left Tijuana and for a decade wandered aimlessly as a self proclaimed 'hobosexual' - traveling and exploring via seedy hotels and homeless shelters the span of the United States, Caribbean, Central and South Americas. All the while, writing about his experiences in a world renowned blog.
