Manic Rose City: Poetry & Prose Book

Manic Rose City is a roller coaster ride, a fun house look at the ups and downs of an artist in Portland Oregon, also known as the rose city. It’s a world of denizens and hipster characters, each with a unique name for amusement and notoriety. The emotional story of Manic Rose City is spoken in vivid Technicolor, depicting the lyrical nature of living an artist’s life. It encompasses all the denizen characters that occupy the life and nightlife of this vibrant city. Rich with culture, a strong artists colony, and an independent identity, these poems explore all the important themes of life through an emotional fabric of hills and valleys. The poetry always follows some undercurrent of energy in this manic city, rich with vibrant artistic living. The Frësch Klesch guides us through the characters of the rose city in recurring themes of love, lust, joy, and sorrow. The poetry in Manic Rose City is ripe with poignant messages of urban living, human decay, and the existence of a magical place where city dwellers live. Artists consider it their playground and voyeurs love to visit. This book illustrates the struggles of an artist with creative energies, yet is hopelessly full of joy and hope for futures yet explored. It is a compelling tale of love, lust, and the reasons why poets are often found in bars drinking whiskey on Tuesdays.
