John Bennett | The Birth of Road Rage | Hcolom Press

Forward / Credits

The Shards in “The Birth of Road Rage” were written over a span of time ranging from the mid 1990s until late in 2004. Some of them that sound as if they were written post 9/11 were actually written years earlier. Which goes to show that if you’ve got your finger on the pulse, you can hear the beating heart of the future. Which goes to show that Time is an illusion.

“The Birth of Road Rage” is part of a trilogy. The other two books in the collection are: “The Theory of Creation” and “War All the Time.” All three books are available from Vagabond Press (605 E. 5th Ave., Ellensburg, WA 98926). For those of you tied to institutions that will not order a book without an ISBN tattoo, you’re shit out of luck. Vagabond Press is kicking the ISBN habit.

Thanks to the following magazines, presses and /or web sites which made some of these Shards available to a limited public prior to this publication:
Babel, Burnig Whisper, D-press, House Organ, Los Poesy, Lummox, Measured Steps, Open Wide, Physik Garden, Pudding House, Real Living, WordWrights.
