By Robert M. Katzman
$29.99 Plus sales tax, where applicable.
“My poetry was written on impulse when I was moved by passion.”
This first book of poetry, represented by the man who taught me everything about running a newsstand that could be taught. At 69, he may have been an “ordinary man” – but for 15-year-old me – Bill was the sun, moon and stars of me trying to learn how to become savvy enough to run my own newsstand and not fall prey to all the forces that were lying in wait to pounce on a naïve kid. Bill taught me defenses, and made me sophisticated, over time. Even though, in my high school, I was considered zip. He gave me something to be moored to.
