A New Song

In his second book of poetry, San Francisco writer of gothic and psychedelic poetry Michael Lee Totten covers fifteen years worth of travels through the State of California and his own state of mental consciousness as he struggles with love, loss, homelessness, illness, addiction, and recovery, and his attempts to cope with the harsh realities of war, ecological destruction and poverty the real world has to offer and how they clash with his fantasy of a peaceful, beautiful romantic land called Helisphont.
