For those of you who desire a break from the hum-drum drudgery of life, then I suggest you get yourself to:

http://www.spdbooks.org/Producte/9780981184487/doing-cartwheels-on-doomsday-afternoon.aspx?rf=1

and purchase DOING CARTWHEELS ON DOOMSDAY AFTERNOON by John Yamrus. It is a collection of delightful and refreshing, thought-provoking and sensual poems, employing an "everyday everyman's" motif of words. It is truly outstanding.

FOSEBOOK

It is my privilege to be a collaborative member of the blog Flowers of Sulfur. Recently, the first FOS anthology has been made available as a free e-edition (please see the link below) with the print version soon to follow.

This anthology showcases the great artistic and poetic talent that can be found on the blog. It's members offer the brilliant colors of literary and visual creations, a sustenance often lacking on the table of daily living.

Come join us and enjoy yourselves.
