Susan, I wish I could take credit for it being a book review. However, it's a satire of my life using Animal Farm as an allegory. Come to think of it, it could also be a satire of Kerouac's life! The beauty of poetry's disguised meanings!

I didn't read Lomon's work so I might be at a disadvantage. But I'm wondering if the black raven is still telling stories? Maybe the "M" in M.J." stands for "Moses? "
