[Tommy · Rating 5 out of 5]

not only is he brilliant, he's my uncle.

I happened upon this book by chance, it was $3 and used. I paid for it in cash. The whole thing felt like the sign I'd been looking for. I've never heard of Robert Kelly, but he sounds like a less-vulgar Bukowski. He is just as talented and imaginative, but a little bit more romantic. I like this book. I hope to meet Kelly in another bookstore by chance.
