From award winning author, actor, poet, Larry Crist, comes his first compilation of new and selected poems in twenty years.
From the author:
Im an only child. My parents were as well
Both lost their mothers early, their fathers too
I was raised on a goat farm in the California
wine country. I learned to read before kindergarten
That first year of school was okay
Im sorry i didnt go out for football in high school
I did a lot of drugs and spent a year in jail instead
I earned an MFA in theatre from Temple U.
as well as a useless BA at HSU, Humboldt County, California
I studied English & History, attended an acting academy
in my early 20s, and never graduated high school
I dont have a tv. I have a cell phone, but can barely use it
My particular form of ADD prevents
me from reading directions. Whenever
i read something, telling me how to do something
i invariably focus on how bad the writing is
I love baseball. I ache for it and the kind of weather
it accompanies. I love tigers and cats and crows
I find cooking therapeutic and have always had a fear of
starving to death. I prefer pie to cake but have no taste
for either unless i smoke weed. I love to walk
especially around Green Lake when it is sunny
I would love to do this while walking a tiger. I would
probably have a beer, because no one is going to bother
you about drinking when youre out walking a tiger
