Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990558588)

"In his book, A Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj, Jeff Weddle takes the reader on a roller coaster ride thru a somewhat hazy youth into the more complex and somber depths of maturity. From crazy mixed up curious kid to somewhat radical professor, from dark solitude to reaching out to a global community, Weddle shares insights gained through his journey and offers a wider perspective on the mysteries of life and the universal experience. This book is a must read!" -- Sheila Lowe-Burke, Dr., h.c., Michigan Beat Poet Laureate 24-26 "InA Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj, Alabama Beat Poet Laureate Jeff Weddle, in panoramic poetic detail, shines a bright microscopic light on the time that was, the time that is, the time that will be no more. Jeff Weddle writes the impossible. His mesmerizing, hypnotic poems put me in a trance, transported me to other worlds. Each poem is a living breathing painting, a moving picture come to life in me. Experiencing his poems I become reflective, and emotional. His poems are the real deal. Jeff Weddle'sA Letter to Xhevdet Bajraj is a master work of poetry." --Ron Whitehead, U.S. National Lifetime Beat Poet Laureate "Jeff Weddle's dynamic poems prove once again that stories (and poetry) can have power. Reading these pages is like getting into the car with Jeff, and watching past and present fly by on a rollicking cross-country drive. All the while Jeff Weddle, a modern-day Neal Cassady, narrates an ongoing dialogue with other poets, musicians, mystics, family members, and ne'er do wells all "dreaming of sweat and glory." Drink up if you know. Open this book and buckle up if you want to take a wild ride through the back streets of the American zeitgeist." --Danny Shot, author of WORKS and The Jersey Slide
