No. You’re Always the Bug: Life Many Will Enter, Few Will Win

No. You’re Always the Bug. , as the title suggests, is an homage to the trodden in life, the people who never get to be the windshield. They put you in a wheelchair and expect you to run marathons. They make you blind and expect you to be well-read. They tell you to write poetry, but they expect it to have form, consonance, assonance, iambs, and absolutely no semblance of vigor or life. This is a collection of poetry written in a manic period of insanity stretching from 1998 through 2001, with little bits and pieces from before and after. The style is free-verse, with an extreme contempt for form, structure, and other idiocies created to put stipulations on the one thing which should remain art. Neal Bailey’s poetry is truth without discretion and art without limits. This poetry book was designed to anger and reassess the value system and poetry sense of anyone who reads it. You’ve been warned. Now dig in. If you like this book, try his other current I Am Hardcore. You Are Reading , also available through IUniverse.
