The Speakeasy Remains

Originally published in 2000 to a limited audience in Mobile, Alabama, the Speakeasy introduced the original voice of a young, local poet. Now, newly edited with previously unpublished pieces from a first manuscript, The Second Random, and a cover by long-time friend and graphic designer Matthew Johnson, this tenth anniversary edition brings to light the same original voice which debuted a decade ago. Still vibrant and still holding fast to the ferocity of a young man searching for and living into the answers, Shawn R. Field now resides in West Hartford, Connecticut with his rampantly creative family and co-dependent pastel calico, Stella.
