Rant on CNN: Hysterical commentary! Your points are so well received and so true. Loved the comparison of the Klan and Roots.

RE: Vagabond in Manhattan...I recall a similar time, when I visited Manhattan for the first time and I wanted to see the 'real' life, mankind in reality...but it was as fake as South Florida, with its transplanted trees and people...plastic artificial...I much prefered Brooklyn and Coney Island.

"6.1"

Like a child, so little yet so much. "6.1" is also so little yet so much.

In one word, evocative.

Love it!

Transfer Island - powerful work as per usual by you - great imagery, wonderful rhythm - loved this line: something's here, inquiring / so i spill it, whispering into the wind

I love Found Weekend, urgent, high impact imagery, all that rock crumbling and being smashed somehow feels good!
Feedback from merlot56: Some of my erotic poems are of imagined women, but this one was real...

Thanks.

Someday - great poem. Very smart. Getting drunk on shoe polish fumes - fantastic line.

Larry, you've worked your magic again with Someday. Great wit, incredible rhythm and flow of words about a vital subject - class consciousness. Wonderful work, as per usual.

JNormanJ: You have such a refreshing, clean, matter-of-fact style. It really shines through in this piece. Good stuff!

Banjo Strings

by Larry Winfield

Horror/SF/Erotic/Southern Gothic Podcast Novel

An epic and graphic tale of antebellum ghosts, ancient scandal, supernatural spies, and a den of iniquity amid the Red Maple and Magnolia trees.



"...I get a strong X-Files vibe from it, which is definitely a good thing. It also seems like the scope of the story widens with each of the first several episodes, so just as soon as I started to think I had a handle on the whole thing, it got even bigger, which was really exciting. Banjo Strings is definitely for mature audiences only, but if you can handle Falcon Twin, you can probably handle Banjo Strings."

Brenden Mecleary, creator, Falcon Twin online graphic novel.
