Item description from seller

117 Pages. Inscribed by the author on the title page. No defects noted. No marks or stamps. There are 64 poems with a collection of shorter poems in the middle of the book, poems that individually are untitled, which as a body are called Short Poems. Many of them are written in a for resembling haiku, or at least his version of haiku, which is typically three lines, and five syllables in each line or fifteen syllables in total, as opposed to the traditional haiku form of seventeen syllables. Mike Nelson's search for self started at 17 with a pen; it proved the perfect tool. He had just finished high school and felt lost with no sense of direction, Nelson says. He got up got a pencil and paper and started writing. He had just finished high school and felt lost with no sense of direction. Nelson says he got a pencil and paper and started writing and it came out like a simple six-line poem. He had no experience or previous interest in the art. It was just a total compulsion to write whatever he was feeling, to just get it out. Nelson began self-educating. He would look up and play with words, and began reading a lot. Things stepped up when he attended his first Beat Night at The Press Room. Initially he sat quietly at the back of the room. From his vantage point he watched John-Michael Albert (eighth Portsmouth poet laureate). He noticed Albert was always up front, vocal, passionate and hugely supportive of others. Eventually the two became friends, and Albert the younger man's mentor.
