From the unique voice of Mark Fargo comes a new collection of raw, reflective, and often humorous poetry and prose. In "I'm Just a Younger Old Beatnik," Fargo muses on the realities of aging ("Manopause"), the shifting cultural and political landscape, and his lifelong love for the open road on his motorcycle. This collection continues the tradition of his first book, "Early Morning Offerings," blending personal memoir with social commentary. It features his distinctive "9-word, 9-line" poems born from creative exercises with his students, alongside sprawling road-trip poems that chronicle his thumbing through Europe in the '70s and his solitary motorcycle journeys across America. With a heart worn on his sleeve and a keen eye for the absurdities of modern life, Fargo delivers a heartfelt, gritty, and authentic look at a life lived on its own terms.
