Part memoir, part how-to, all Baxter Black, Lessons from
a Desperado Poet is a humorous, witty take on making a
living by doing the right thing and trying everything.
According to Baxter Black, success "does not require a
genius; it just requires the persistence of a glacier.
Remember, often it's not ability that gets you ahead,
it's reliability. The world is run by those who show up."
A mind-tickling romp through the formation, fermentation,
and fruition of the author's career as a poet in a
country where publishing poetry is "practically illegal,"
Lessons from a Desperado Poet boldly injects a poem now
and again when it is relevant, just to prove a point!
It's instructional for the entrepreneur, inspirational
for the ambitious, and entertaining for the teeming
masses.
