Escape from Jersey City (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781957221281)

George J. Searles's Escape from Jersey City opens with the line "Hey, Guys. Take it from me..." letting you know this is a poet of wry advice-even if, in this case, he's counseling crows. Searles's wonderful wise guy poems which are indeed funny, but also wise, as they opine upon social issues of all sorts, politics, mortality, and love. You'll chuckle the way you chuckle when you know something is true. Another poem begins, "Take it from me: I'm one lucky customer..." and you'll feel lucky too when you purchase this book.
