Sidewalks

by Ron Gavalik

Sidewalks is a strange and extraordinary walking tour through the horrors of our truths and the sadness of our lies. In this uninhibited collection of free verse poetry, Ron Gavalik uses whiskey-soaked words to paint a raw, gritty portrait of life upon sidewalks that contain our subtle desperation. On this journey, we will laugh and cry, think and pray. In the end, we’ll have become better friends, lovers, true allies ready to do battle with a world fixed on hate.

About the author

I've dedicated my life to the written word. In those years, I've learned one truth: we are indentured to no one but ourselves.

Poets and experimental writers don't merely punch words onto paper to fulfill a predetermined formula of what mainstream audiences expect. We present new ideas that force new perspectives. We ignite debates among academics. We spark passions in people and launch their imaginations. In short, we enhance the reader's quality of life.

All an author can ask for in this world is the occasional fuck, an occasional meal, and the knowledge that his work helps a few working stiffs through their miserable days and nights.

That, my friend, is a sliver of heaven in a world on fire.
