    About this ebook

    "Dancing on the Ceiling of My Existential Kitchen" is Nathan's 2nd collection of poetry & random writings, mostly encompassing the period between 2005-2009 when Nathan left Los Angeles for Boston & New York City, eventually settling in Austin, Texas.

    In addition to poetry inspired by Nathan's first weeks & months in Austin, Dancing on the Ceiling of My Existential Kitchen includes anecdotes about busking in Brooklyn (Cop Utopia), visions of an oversexed, narcotic punk-rock hell (Siddhartha & Nancy), and assorted other forms of unrestrained randomness.

    Unequal parts partially maddening & totally insane, Dancing on the Ceiling of My Existential Kitchen is available in both eBook and print-to-order hardcopy. Check it out today!
