Spotted Overcoat introduces you to marathon dancers, a high life flapper in a stolen car, sailors on shore leave, criminals and underdogs who are everyday folks trying to work out their lives. Even though the author divides the poetry book into timelines of Then, Now and Out There, the dilemmas of humanity transcend generations. Spotted Overcoat is filled with social commentary that is cryptic, at times interjected with subtle humor and jazz age slang, and other times surprisingly candid. Throughout it all, this poetry is not always what it seems to be. Cover artwork by Sherry Ann Greer of Sherry Ann's Shop.
