To and From on the Day-for-Night Coast

I came to words via music, having enjoyed many years studying Mozart and Chopin. In San Francisco I was drawn to the readings and was lucky to hear some of the Old Spaghetti Factory series and later Cafe Babar. So many great evenings! But I always thought it would be cool to have a poetry reading at 7:30 am as well, somewhere. No one agreed. Anyway, I thought I'd write a book. Literally, write it. This is the result. I'm not inclined to explain it. Some of what's in these pages happened. Some things did not. Like the reference to LSD on page 71. The line just happened. As for the title, it was a road trip. The cops show up several times in the text. Its because I speed and I like to know where they are. The "day for night" has to do with how night scenes used to be filmed. In the day time. But none of us were really fooled and I know you won't be fooled by this book either. What is entirely sincere however is my love for those to whom it is dedicated.
