Description
Poetry. Born in the Mission District of San Francisco—where the ancients lived during the Bay Area's post-glacial Holocene—into a famly of immigrant Italians, steered toward the priesthood—he left the church and began to dance during the '67 Summer of Love—This collection of poems gathers the conversations Goodtimes has had all along with his alter echo, McRedeye—a wry, sly, uber-intelligent and ever playful coyote.
