"Glass City" can currently be found at Caliban Bookshop in Oakland and will soon be in discerning shops everywhere...or at least within walking distance of the bars I enjoy frequenting.

"Glass City" is John's second collection of poems. His first, "The Noose Doesn't Get Any Looser After You Punch Out" was published by Six Gallery Press in 2008.

from "Glass City":

talking love with a seven-year-old

some boy gave her
a lollipop

she whispered
in my ear

asked me
if i ever had
a girlfriend

when i was younger

i told her no
that the girls never
seemed to like me

although i always
thought that i was
a nice enough
guy

she seemed
to accept that
answer

odd

how i still
haven't



Look for more Low Ghost releases in 2011!
