Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An earlier publisher begged me to collect all of my “kickers”, as he called them, in a separate volume because of the expressed enjoyment of my readers. I never got around to it until now, decades later. The majority of these offerings have never seen print although some have been published in few prior collections. I include all because this printing would not be complete without them. The “twists” at the end of these stories (lyric free verse is a “story form” of poetry) snap the reader to a different meaning than the body of the poem at first suggests, and often beckons to reread the effort. Of course, not all are stories…some express an obtuse view of some presumed truths. The ring of twisted honesty is sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes downright mean, sometimes enlightening, or sometimes just whimsical but each poem was inspired by occurrences, musings, or observations of relationships which have happened around me through the years. Enjoy! You are most probably going to giggle a lot.
