Ready Or Not: Living in the Break Down Lane

Paul Richmond is a fascinating poet - his words are evocative & meaningful. He writes about contemporary issues, about love, about relationships & always with the fine hand of a brilliant observer of the human condition. His readings of his poems are mind-blowing - there's never any doubt in the mind of his audience that he's not only a distinguished poet but also a talented actor who gives life to his words, whether on the printed page or if he's declaiming on stage. I have the good fortune to live in the Pioneer Valley of western Massachusetts. That's where Paul gives readings, hosts regular "Open Mics" and also plans & brings to fruition many, many opportunities for other poets & prose writers to share their work. This book, "...Ready or Not - Living in the Break Down Lane" is made for your bookshelf - remember, it's also a fabulous gift for family members & friends.
