John Wing Jr. is widely known as a comedian, having appeared six times on the Johnny Carson/Jay Leno Tonight Show and on numerous television shows in the United States. John Wing Jr., however, has a real day job-as a poet. This is his first book of poems. The poems in this volume represent a fifteen year odyssey. The earliest ones included here were composed in 1982-83. At the time, John Wing Jr. was twenty-three, living in Toronto and embarking on his first serious relationship with a woman and his first real road trips as a comedian.
