Growing Up Backward

About the Book

Gus has been on hiatus for several years. He remained silent during that time. However, in the past year, he has made a thunderous comeback, producing enough material from his adventures, misadventures, thoughts, dreams, musings, nightmares, observations, recollections, and the various other sundry things that he does for four full volumes of poetry. Come jump in for the swim—some you’ll like; others, not so much; and some you’ll love. But one way or another, you’ll be hooked.
