Zombies, monsters, and dragons stalk this book's pages. Cries of
despair echo through them. Prisons and dungeons lie in wait. Is
this a nightmare? Is it an apocalypse? Well, yes-because it's the
day before our narrator's first day of school, and all entreaties
to his mother are falling on deaf ears. Why should he go to school
when he already knows two letters, "N" and "O," and he knows they
spell NO!, which is exactly the word this occasion demands? Why
aren't these magic letters working anymore? Lexile Level 490;

Stethoscope is poet Dave Morrison's ninth collection of poetry.
Hailed as 'A hearty weed in the garden of American poetry' Dave
Morrison's poems have been published in literary magazines and
anthologies, and featured on Writer's Almanac. "In Stethoscope,
Dave Morrison the poet has fully arrived. Few people participate as
fully in the musical awe beaten out in these poems as Dave Morrison
maintains naturally all the time. "I'm transcribing as fast as I
can," he says of words given to him in a dream, "but / they are
disappearing in the / morning sun." Luckily for us, he has trained
his ear to pick up the pulse no matter how faint, and amplify it
with practiced skill. In this book, his transcriptive powers have
hit full blossom." Dana Wilde - author of The Other End of the
Driveway and editor of Uni-Verse

Hailed as 'A hearty weed in the garden of American poetry' Dave
Morrison's poems have been published in literary magazines and
anthologies, and featured on Writer's Almanac. 'Fail' is his eighth
collection of poetry. "There is no voice quite like his. What
shines in every poem is musical sound and rhythm, grittiness,
reality, humor, and the rare ability to tackle serious subjects
without taking himself too seriously." (Alice Persons, Editor and
Publisher, Moon Pie Press) "Morrison's eye for detail and his
razor-sharp sense of humor elevate his words into something
visceral and anchored in the real world, whether it's in the past
or the present." (Emily Burnham, Bangor Daily News) "By tapping
into his tumultuous past, Morrison has created work that is not
only technically sound, but viscerally engaging. His is no passive
verse; it grabs you by the collar and demands your attention."
(Allen Adams, themaineedge.com)
It was energy & fatigue, wildness & sameness, authenticity
& illusion; it was magic & possibility & expression, it
was boredom, ego, bullshit. It was fun & sex & drinks,
abuse & addiction & violence. It was inclusion &
loneliness, defeat and heartache, it was transformation &
magic, it was music, it was everything, it made everything else not
matter. Welcome to Clubland. No cover, no drink minimum. Clubland
is a collection of poems about rock & roll bars, written in
verse. This is Dave Morrison's seventh poetry collection. "Morrison
can be trusted to not waste your time; every poem is worth the
read. He never missteps in his wistful yet frank look at the bars,
motels, managers, band members and girl friends that make up the
world of Boston rock. It's a perfect book for late night with a
drink..." (review excerpt - Boston Groupie News)
Morrison writes poems about the landscape of the heart, the weather
inside the skull, and how Rock & Roll becomes part of your DNA.
Morrison's second book of poetry is chock full of poems about
String Theory, Khrushchev, Death, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fear, Norton
Commandos, Time, Transistor Radios, Keith Richards, and the blues.
