Bawdy Baby-Boomer Bar-Room Bard! Eric W Fotherby

Eric Wolfgang Fotherby has been telling his unique life stories on comfy living room couches and well-worn bar-room stools for decades. Recently he's turned to poetry to rewire these stories in a new rhythmic literary form. With his vast vocabulary and jocular wit, Fotherby shares draft dodging stories from the Vietnam War years, his epic travel adventures, passionate bromantic poems about the Seattle Mariners and Seattle Seahawks, and his current reflections on a life well lived. Included are his true-life tales of examining a frozen Sasquatch in a shopping mall parking lot, being abducted by a crooked cop in the deserts of Mexico, fending off poisonous snakes and spiders in the wilds of Florida, cleverly exacting revenge on a shady insurance agent, and his most famous story - sustaining a serious shark bite in the waters off Hawaii.
