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.
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).
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.
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
When I reached the end, I began reading the book from back to front.
Then I was at the beginning again.
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.
In my humble opinion, Dean J. Baker is a writer most worth reading.
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.

Have you ever seen a Magic Carpet as big as a building?
Well, I found one, done in paint!
It’s in a parking lot in “Liberty Village”.
Some close-ups.
Bordeur with some interior design.
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.
Sections of the design.
It is a Magic Carpet!

I never know what I’ll find in the next alley.

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.

It’s -18C right now in Toronto, but it can’t last!

Hear it’s going up to 0C on Friday!

Another rumor says +5C in 10 days.

The party has already started in the Ossington Alley.

What is it about Winnipeg? Even though there’s no traffic because it’s a holiday, one car goes by & almost runs you over?

You gotta be a Street Fighter, on this corner! Or a Rocket driver… thanks Sherrie!
