Shatter Thoughts presents three of Scott Shaw's previously published poetry books and two new titles combined into one collection. The titles included in this volume are: "Scream: Southeast Asia and the Dream," "Suicide Slowly," "Last Will and Testament According to the Divine Rites of the Drug Cocaine." The new chapters are: "No Kisses for the Sinner" and "On the Hard Edge of Hollywood." Shattered Thoughts presents the gritty, street-wise, and thought provoking poetry of Scott Shaw. This book leads the reader through adventures, experiences, and realizations Shaw lived both in the west and onto the far off reaches of Asia. The Backspace Journal writes, "Blisteringly hot. This collection takes the reader to the streets, sticks their nose in it, and makes them understand what most of us will never see or live. Part autobiography, part verbal extravaganza, Scott Shaw takes the reader into the gutters and confronts them with the realities of life, allowing them to emerge mystically realized."
