A Broken Stone of Ozymandius is a book of 28 poems, that began in expressing the ways one might fall in love with unknown and unmet strangers, that evolved into an expression of the way love moves out from the recognition of love within oneself to an expression of love toward others and back again to the recognition of love’s truest source.

Nothing – A One Man Show is available @ http://mcooki.es/216521/

Steve Brooks at Malaprops is now on YouTube @ http://youtu.be/zxqCdrlL61Y

In the reading at the Altamont, I read from several books including Essential Occupation, published by New Native Press, available from amazon.com, newnativepress.com, spdbooks.com, and steve@steveabhaya.com. The reading at Malaprops is shorter and only from Essential Occupation.

Nothing is a talk that evolved from the experience of doing my first two one-man shows, Showtime, in ’75, and The Blood & Turnips Poetry Festival, first performed in ’82. Nothing was recorded in Seattle in ’03. My son, Jaxon Brooks, made this possible through his diligent effort and the facilities of his website, http://www.milkandcookies.com/ which I recommend for its insightful and often hilarious content.
