Shipping & Handling $4.95 It's time for the “words” as author Dan Abernathy refers to them, to explode in a startling book of poetry. With over 100 pages of nonsensical writing, you will be sure and get a glimpse into the state of his chaos and confusion. Abernathy is known for his writing, art, photography and as a vagabond who walks in dreams of a pure, hedonistic life. And now a poet, with some of the most illogical views and inspirations seen or heard. Read these poems and wonder what he looks at and sees to derive inspiration from. Things that most people would pass by, and he ought to have himself, have inspired the whimsical and unfocused mind of this unfashionable individual. Looking for Security While Wearing A Loincloth is the aftermath of not only looking but actually seeing. Each poem comes alive from parts of Abernathy's life that he has seen, touched, felt or thought. All have some meaning, though some take a while to realize. By opening this book, he hopes that you, too, might find some inspiration, insight, laughter and nonsense. This is his voice. It is a collection of oddities, fascinations, desires and obsessions – a road map of sorts, tracking the life of a man that can't and won't fit in, but has chosen to wear life on his sleeve for others to wonder about. "Few writers have the courage (or is it unabashed lack of shame?) to be completely honest and secure with all their vulnerable bits dangling. Abernathy is one of the brave ones. His poems are a bit like a well fingered bowl of mixed treats in a dark bar - filled with some salty Charles Bukowski, some chewy Hunter S. Thompson, and a little zap-a-hooty sweetness ala Dr. Seuss (tossed in just for the kiddies...er, ah, not that I'd recommend this one for any mother's son - at least not until they've had that first little talk from a parent first)." - David Vaughan |
