Silence Louder Than A Train

Dean J. Baker, writer extraordinaire, penned the poetry  Silence Louder Than A Train

Dean’s 20/10 visions break bold, clever, sarcastic, cynical, brutally honest, bare faced, bare-soul, telling off, alone, deeply passionate & extremely vivid visually.

STrain #2

The poetry left me pensive, painted into a corner, or suddenly wrapped with a loving arm (crying out loud) , or dropped into a comedy (laughing out loud).

 STrain #6

As I read, Dean’s words kept coming at me, relentlessly, with increasing  speed. I couldn’t put the book down; I read poems to anyone who would listen.

STrain #4

Dean’s style is rebellious. Capitals, punctuation, starts, ends and rhymes are where he wants them to be. His consummate skill works it all beautifully. So just read on without expecting a period at the end

STrain #3

When I reached the end, I began reading the book from back to front.

STrain #5

Then I was at the beginning again.

STrain #1

  I very recently bought my first Dean J. Baker book for Kindle, Poetry & How It Gets That Way. I own 4 more of Dean’s titles, all in paperback.

Silence front

In my humble opinion, Dean J. Baker is a writer most worth reading.

Silence back

Dean is a prolific writer, and all of his many books are available on Amazon in EBook and/or Paperback. He even has his own Amazon page.

Unfortunately, vines are eating away at the mural from the right side as you face it. You won’t see this part in the summer.

Before I was into Graffiti, I used to go by a huge brick building with the word SPUD on it!

The SPUD was up 4 stories, the letters 1 story & it looked stenciled. I thought it was some kind of potato factory.
