I'm going to re-post the blurb that a very cool cat composed for my humble poetic pamphlet....and now, here's Tony-
In "Caterwaul From Below," Steve O'Connor seeks to find the cosmic in the mundane - finding inspiration and insight in random encounters with friends, homeless people, barroom nights, baseball games, and interactions with future and former lovers. His work fuses simply observed details of such daily events with philosophical insight into the workings of the world, the hunt for inspiration (see especially "Chasing The Muse"), and the unrelenting desire for connection to something larger. In this collection, O'Connor recounts the opening steps of a lifelong journey toward that connection, and invites the reader along. I invite you, as well, to join him on the journey.
