Available now for purchase at lulu.com, a new, contemporay poem-play:
Mammon: A Poem In Three Acts by John A. Mills
http://www.lulu.com/content/paperback-book/mammon-a-poem-in-three-acts/81
46516
In this poem-play, four people come to terms with the reality of the
current economic crisis. Two are a working class couple trying to
make a family. The other two are financial workers living in the
flush of the recent economic boom. The poem-play unfolds as each
deals with the ubiquitous and universal greed manifested in today's
world. Their lives are shattered as the deep immorality of the
present global economic system grinds to a disaster. The play is in
rhymed iambic pentameter to raise readers above the current profane
and uncivil arguments of this day and encourage them to bear witness
to the brutal inhumanity of greed. Click here for more information
with preview... http://home.att.net/%7ejohn.a.mills/mammon/

I AM MY OWN ORANGE COUNTY - 11TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION by RICK LUPERT
"Irreverent and yet somehow deeply empathic, many of the pieces
showcase Lupert's Prevert-like instinct for finding the profound in
the absurd."
- Brendan Constantine
Rick's second book, originally published in 1997 with all of the
original selected poems from artwork, introduction and orange-ness,
along with a newly written "Re-Introduction" and a "bonus material"
section featuring a selection of 29 additional (sometimes even MORE
sophomoric) poems from the I Am My Own Orange County 'era'.
