   In The Words Of Chairman Me

   Chapbooks are common within the grassroots poetry scene. This example was originally put together in 2004 and later re-issued in PDF form. It presents a small collection of poetry from the serious, through the mischievous, to the downright silly. If it's a little bit raw in its presentation, that reflects the nature of chapbooks. These were -- are? -- no frills vehicles for the delivery and exchange of poetry.

Indeed, it was the influence of open mic poets that first inspired him to capture his poetic thoughts on paper and present them aloud.
