Overview
This is a selection of one hundred poems written by a twenty-two-year-old British bloke during his five-month meandering journey hitchhiking across the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific during the spring and summer of 1979. A trip during which the writer sold well over 1000 original, individual poems written on the spot for one dollar each; poems of every imaginable type and subject, and to every imaginable type of person: policemen, sex partners, truck drivers, housewives and children – even a man who tried to rob him… even to a Jehovah Witness!
