Golden visions of Cape Cod and wood stove Maine feature frequently in this collection of lively verse. A poetic celebration of life, family & friendship, reading & writing are all experienced by the working writer in pursuit of unlimited inspiration. The joy of being a writer is illustrated with poetic descriptions of the pleasure of publication, the irritating editor; the despair of writer's block and the love of a good bottle along the way. Highs and lows, constant drinking, modern day rebellion against the times, the sad gloom of the late night chef, the relentless urge to reach for another book and a bottle are all celebrated here in this unforgettable collection of blank page Cape Cod and the pleasant scotch mountains of moose pond Maine.
