The medicine show comes to town, and with it Inkblot Hurricane, a man who weaves a tale painted in carnival colors of a generation ago. From poet-author Hurricane, aka Martin Abramson, comes "Promenade", a wondrous collection of poems, song & blues penned between the early 1960s & the present day. Though distinctly American in its rhythms & language, his poetry traverses half a tumultuous century & much of the globe. In a unique blend of styles & voices, Hurricane writes of emotion, of burning bridges, love & romance, rhythm & blues, territories of social situation, cartesian localities & indestructible ideals in a signature style that rarely fails to draw readers to his poetry. Readers will find "Promenade" intimately approachable, thought provoking & chock full of the author's wry, remarkable insight and honesty.
