I miss this guy. When he died, the SF street poetry scene died, too.

This book...what to say. I love it. I've read it many times. Maybe it's different for me because I still hear his voice when I read his words.

A superb poetry collection by the late great David Lerner, King of the Cafe Babar poets in San Francisco in the 1980s and 90s. Lerner is possibly the best writer of Zeitgeist Press of Las Vegas, a small indie press that publishes many Bay Area poets, including a lot of the "Babarians," as the Cafe Babar poets call themselves.

David is a prophet a poet and a sport. Maybe he can write more from the flipside and get it over to us somehow.

[Bruce]

This book sells very well, and a contract has recently been agreed for a German translation. Lerner is striking a chord with the tal;ented young poets, and if you don;t know this work, you are missing onje the most eloquent and joyful criticisms of modern life yet produced.
