Find another layer,
go deeper
to before I knew you,

if the moon was right by Marc Mannheimer

Published December 31, 2016

Chapbook - 36 pages, 5.5" x 8.5", ISBN: 978-1541188006

Excerpt
"like Ghandian gangstas

they inspect the stones
test their feet
on the sun-hot, steel rail

decide to venture
the fence beyond,
a feathery posse
who appear now as
bandmates -
British mods, boy beats,
New York glams, L.A. punks"

About the author:
Marc Mannheimer's impetus behind writing "if the moon was right" was to compose a poetic autobiography. From a Charlie Brown childhood to late-teen psychiatric indigestion and a Renaissance in his prime, this book just about covers it all.
