I figured if Walt Whitman, Mark Twain, Allen Ginsberg and other great \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican writers could self-publish, I could too. I sold my poems in Berkeley and San Francisco\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e(\"Hey, real San Francisco beat poetry right here!\"). I published two other poem booklets during\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethis fertile period of my life, as well as a larger collection, and a short one-man, one-act play, all\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eincluded herein. The poem booklets sold for a dollar but see, my room rent was only $35 a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emonth. That's what an expensive, exclusive prep school education in Manhattan could do for\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eyour kid in the '60s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverybody has some boxes of old nostalgia somewhere in storage, right? I looked through\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eone of my boxes and I decided to publish these poems because I think they still hold up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOK, some of them are juvenile, rebellious, and weird. But remember that youth is about self-\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ediscovery, ideals and betrayal. Have you forgotten? Ha, maybe this collection will bring a\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003esmile to your face and spark some memories of your own youthful and creative moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Etan Boritzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798330268542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Veronica Lane Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.64d","brand":"Etan Boritzer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46420629651711,"sku":"9798330268542","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2809af83-7b60-4aeb-ae66-aa1837e0653d.jpg?v=1734635199","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-decade-in-my-life-etan-boritzer-9798330268542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
