Introduction with Ray Manzarek cofounder of The Doors

“This collection of interconnected short stories is beautifully captured by a small cast of narrators. Tom Weiner portrays the dark spirit of a troubled serial killer known as the Freeway Slasher in the first story. His grim tone puts listeners on the edge of their seats throughout. Lucia Sherman steals the show with an expertly underplayed performance in which she offers the chilling character of Damon, a mysterious hitchhiker. The stories work well with each other, and the selection of narrators is perfect, each offering a new chapter to the tale in his or her own dramatic way. Emerson creates a thrilling ride down Interstate 40.” - L.B. © AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine

Read by Ray Manzarek, Jessica Robinson, Tom Weiner, Raymond Scully, Lucia Sherman, Ryan Farmer, and Paul Michael Garcia. Music by SIP.

Sharing the poem, Corporate America, for the first time publicly since the publication of my paperback Lost Angel (copyright 2005).

Note: The ideas in these poems formed in the late 1990s when Nirvana remained King, and a would be Jim Morrison for the next generation began a writing career on the streets of Southern California.

Military experience, followed with college training in a region that remains a political engine within the Federal Government of the United States of America.

And then 9/11. All the while a Native American feeling the aftermath of genocide.

And in the depths of this ethos managed to discover the audiobook industry, meet Ray Manzarek of the Doors, and have a contract to begin working with him that lasted until his departure from cancer.

The goal would have been to work with Ray, Robby, and John on my audiobook Lost Angel. To record these poems as they had done with the American Prayer album. The offer still stands with Robby and John . . .

Corporate America

V

Water-marks
Bloody, salty, sweaty, silky, water-marks.
Water-marks are hard fought.
Water-marks take a lifetime to mold.
Water-marks disappear fast in the heat of the sun.

Best regards,

Cyrus Emerson
