About this ebook
Astroglo DeCerveau
Astroglo DeCerveau is the author of A Book of Good and Bad Things, which is an extension of A Prelude of Disclosure written by him also. He wrote his first poem at approximately eight years of age, but began to compose profusely in his adolescence in the form of an outpouring of the mind to empty his psyche of battling thoughts. Currently, Astroglo DeCerveau is working on another book of the same nature and a novel based on a true story. He majored in psychology at Sunny P. I. and Brooklyn College. He lives in New York for the time being.

image%201.JPGA book of good and bad is an extension of A Prelude of Disclosure; it is, in a way, what I call, a blatant disclosure. However, to adhere with the norms of society as well as contributing to its fluidity, I took the initiative to slightly curtail several of those rhyming true stories, because the full content might be disturbing to some people or the zeitgeist in general. Nevertheless, I have no doubt that those philosophical concepts and subcultural mores that small groups of people who are brave enough to live by or just experience a few time, will have their time in the future just as alcohol had its time and still has its time for lawful consumption. Until then, enjoy a book of good and bad the way it is, for I’m convinced that the public is clever enough to perceive and grasp, through imagination, the restricted verses. So, while reading you can determine what’s good or bad using your own diagnosis; and what you do with the knowledge divulged, I leave to your discretion.
