O knihe

Get ready to appreciate the ordinary and consider the profound in this dazzling collection of poems.


In the title poem, the narrator pays homage to the French horn, writing, in part:


The mellow mouth of my French horn

is worth all the jade or silver

or the superficial birthright

of an old family of scholars

that I'd trade for Scottish whiskey

and the junk I learned in college.


While a portion of the poem "Dollar Rose" reads:


Won't you buy a dollar rose, sir,

for your sweetheart or your wife?

For such a thing of beauty

it's a very special price.


Whether you are looking for the melancholy, the inspirational or simply the offbeat, you will surely enjoy the poetry in I Was a College Dropout: The French Horn Was My Mistress.
