TOO BAD IT'S POETRY! Now Available!
My first full length book is called TOO BAD IT'S POETRY. 
It is out and available through Paper Kite Press. Click here to visit Paper Kite Press and to buy my book.
Praise for TOO BAD IT'S POETRY:
"The amazing poem "east/west" is a must read. Warner successfully weaves--or more aptly fuses--references to music, spirituality, psychology, pop culture and literature as he explores themes of exile and identity. In these electric poems we journey with him as he both searches for and invents a new home--this one made of language. " -Toi Derricotte

for Roy Buchanan
roy buchanan on paralell Earth 2
shoelaces are the last vote
of confidence. Taken
away, they confim all your doubts;
this is fine. You are still
alive and the blues you will
learn sleeping off the Wild Turkey
doesn't even take your Telecaster
out
of
tune.
