An engaging book of poetry by a modern master of the rhymed verse.

Born Sanford Cohen in the Bronx, New York in 1934, the poet renamed himself Rose when he began performing as a poet and storyteller in the tradition of the ultra-hip Lord Buckley, harking back to the oral roots of epic poetry. After a stint in the army, bouncing around as a lifeguard, masseur and astrology writer, he taught high school English in New York. His School of the Night specialized in occult classes and his Liquid Wedge Gallery made media history with sculptor Tony Price's first Atomic Art Show in NYC, 1969.
