Turnstile Burlesque - Paperback

by John Greiner (Author)

A stunning collection of 25 poems by John Greiner of Queens, New York, published in June 2017 by Crisis Chronicles Press. "The first thing you'll notice when reading John Greiner is that his work changes like a spider web. The pieces in Turnstile Burlesque show a writer at the peak of his form, exploring his heart to push forward in the evolution of his own creativity. These poems are our past and our future, they are the pulse of a city sidewalk, a love letter to Ted Berrigan's New York and an accessible glimpse into what's happening now and what's happening now is John Greiner. Join him." -John Dorsey, author of Appalachian Frankenstein. Cover art by Steven B. Smith.
