Pencil Pusher

Pencil Pusher is a gritty, honest look at the life of a blue collar working man. It's a poem with its finger on the pulse of addiction. It's an eye on the trials of growing up poor. It's "How I Loved Myself On Drugs" and "How I Learned To Play Guitar," it's "Daddy Wasn't Much On Brains" and "The Way They Never Laughed At Home."

Officially published and released to the public on Tuesday, April 28th 2015, Pencil Pusher is 32 pages long with 23 poems printed on creamy ivory paper. The cover, a pale tan with a steel-blue cardstock insert, boasts a handsome photo taken by Jeffrey Alfier; the subject of the photo is the shuttered Pabst Brewery in Milwaukee.
