About the author
David Jewell
83 books8 followersIn 1968, David Jewell graduated from the police academy in Southern California. Preparing to go on duty, he sat behind the wheel and fired up his police car, a white 1968 Pontiac GTO. That's right, a Pontiac GTO police car! He quickly learned that the uniform was a babe magnet, too.
Ever since then, he has had a love affair with fast, powerful cars and hot, sensual and intriguing women. He has a bachelor's degree in social work and a master's degree in a related field. He moved to Minnesota after retiring from the police department. Away from the maddening crowds, he pursues his passion for writing.
Fourteen years ago, he embraced the bondage/dominance-sadomasochism (BDSM) alternative lifestyle as a switch. He is both dominant and submissive. In other words, he enjoys both sides of the whip. He is collared by a mistress and has his own collared submissive. He enjoys the excitement and gratification this lifestyle offers.
His writings reflect his experiences and insights into this alternative lifestyle. Using his personal experiences and creative imagination, he creates interesting, spirited characters and weaves dynamic, pulsating and exciting stories that reflect the passion, intensity, fulfillment and joys of the bdsm lifestyle. He writes with a passion about that which he is passionate.
He hopes that you enjoy his stories and share his zeal for those things that bring joy and happiness to life.

You know when you hear that one single by a new artist and you can't wait to buy the rest of the album, because you imagine that every song is as genius as that single? Then you shell out the bucks to purchase the album and are bitterly disappointed to discover that n-o-n-e of the artist's other songs sound a bit like that first single? OK: reading Lizards Again was like that.
I wanted to read this book for so long because I adore that poem "Delusion Angel" that's recited in the film, Before Sunrise, so much so that I tracked down the poet and this one and only volume of published poetry, paid way too much for this slim, 40-some page paperback, and found that "DA" was an anomaly.
Not to say that some of the poems in this collection aren't good. Some of them are quite good. But they didn't move me. I don't feel inspired that I will return to this collection often, if ever. I'm afraid it will sit on a shelf and fade into relic-dom.
This book does offer an interesting, avant garde approach to some of the poems. As a cultural piece, exemplifying the 80's, I think it bears some attention.
Most of the poems are distanced from the poet though, which isn't my cup of tea.
Buyer beware. try and track them down online instead.
