    About this ebook

    Part 3 of award-wining poet Kevin Shlosberg's coming-of-age poetry arc "To Say This is the Way One Man Went."

    These poems chart the author's journey from clinical depression to spiritual ease, but with a twist.

    This poetry is not center-justified, if you know what I mean. Heavy on imagery. Light on rhyme.

    20+ poems covering topics including (but not limited to): family, insomnia, creativity, blood, mountains, cows, Pablo Neruda, and giant squids.

    Fun times guaranteed!

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’
