In a Spartan studio near Bloor and Markham streets in Toronto from 1969 - 1973, ecclesiastic muralist Jack O'Brien wrote one of the most powerful books of poetry of the late 20th Century. It has remained unread until now. Using his mastery of colors, compositions and textures, O'Brien brings to life love, war, beauty and an America that is quickly disappearing.
When a career-ending injury sidelined Jack O'Brien from painting church, cathedral and statehouse walls and ceilings, the native New Yorker, then living in Toronto, rented a studio, turned a wooden fruit box upside down, found a typewriter, and didn't stop writing for six years.
The first result was It's Like This, Jim, a powerful and vivid conversation with the author and you. He shares the beauty and horror he witnessed, confides his unique and prescient world view to you and makes you feel like you were 'right there' next to him. His voice and style are original. It's Like This, Jim will leave you moved.
