SocialYetDistanced Pod Collective Present American Poet and Activist Human: A. Razor and "Puro Purismo"_Part I_

A. Razor. American, West Coast Outlaw Poet, Desert Farmer. Dedicated Punk Hostage. (Part I of III) The descriptors can be many for one who defies description.  We have known Razor for a long while.  Short minutes it seems, and if you know him, you know that any discussion is prone to lean a long way around to where it should be, but always pointing at the right side of things because it is the Way.  If you don't know him, this book will make it really easy. See here:Punk Hostage Press Today, a simple discussion of old days, good and bad times, friendships and the real led us down a path that editing will only dilute. So we split it up instead, Smaller bites pre-digested so you don't have to. Just enjoy the ride. Wait for the sequels. It's just like real life. Or Star Trek Movies ... The BIO: A. Razor was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. in 1963, and brought to California at the age of one. Raised with a strong desire to read and write, but an even greater desire to survive his circumstances, which has aided his experience and longevity so far. He began writing and publishing in Los Angeles, around 1980 in various underground zines and publications. Expanding outward from there, he was discovered by Drew Blood Press, Ltd. in 1984, where he published 11 chapbooks up to 1995. He has read his work at many readings and spoken word events over the years and been published in many types of publications, ranging from those that are considered reputable to those that are of ill repute. He has fought hard to live and express his art in many different ways and in many different places. He became a member of the Hollywood Institute of Poetics in Los Angeles, CA in 2009. He has participated recently in the Poets In Prison panel at Beyond Baroque and the 2011 ALOUD reading series held at the Downtown Los Angeles Public Library. In 2012 he teamed up with Iris Berry to launch Punk Hostage Press, on which he released six titles of his own work and edited 10 more titles from as many writers, Danny Baker, Iris Berry, C.V.
