From the author of Hexpectations comes an up-ended shoebox and from it a selection of poems written in his early teens. The point where hope and (personal)history might be said to rhyme..... Mercifully free of hormonal ructions, surly know-it-all attitudes, or underage drunken scrawl on the back of a cigarette box. (Warning: this product may contain rhyming couplets)

The content of this book of poetry would not be possible without my family. You know I love you all. I would like to single-out the incomparable Toby Stevens, my mother-in-law, for being matriarch and CEO. You have been instrumental in so many celebrations (some of which are honored here). You were born on Valentine's Day and have a very big heart. Thanks for being you. I must also recognize Sandbox Creative in Webster Groves, MO for the design and layout of Poetry Before Breakfast. Dave Cox, thank you for your faith in me and support of this project.
From the online phenomenons the Astro Poets comes the first great astrology primer of the 21st century. Full of insight, advice and humor for every sign in the zodiac, the Astro Poets' unique brand of astrological flavor has made them Twitter sensations. Their long-awaited first book is in the grand tradition of Linda Goodman's Sun Signs, but made for the world we live in today. In these pages the Astro Poets help you see what's written in the stars and use it to navigate your friendships, your career, and your very complicated love life. If you've ever wondered why your Gemini friend won't let you get a word in edge-wise at drinks, you've come to the right place. When will that Scorpio texting "u up?" at 2AM finally take the next step in your relationship? (Hint: they won't). Both the perfect introduction to the twelve signs for the astrological novice, and a resource to return to for those who already know why their Cancer boyfriend cries during commercials but need help with their new whacky Libra boss, this is the astrology book must-have for the twenty-first century and beyond.
