Escape Artist An Anthology

Escape Artist was first published in November of 1995, and this anniversary edition contains virtually all the same poems.

Let me quote from my description from the original version: “Escape Artist tells of my retreat into my little world, the protective cocoon from which I observe life.” The poems are, in a simple phrase, “life, according to me”. Most of the experiences are personal, but some are borrowed from others. The observations, however, are all mine. Welcome to the “hideout of the visionary”.

One key difference worth noting here: I have added an extra poem – ‘in loco parentis’ - that did not appear in the earlier version because it did not exist at the time.

Enjoy!
