Libertines in the Ante-Room of Love: Poets on Punk Jamie Townsend

Poetry. Art. Film. Music. LIBERTINES IN THE ANTE-ROOM OF LOVE: POETS ON PUNK is a collection of essays, poems and visual mediums touching on the intersection of punk culture in the lives of poets. Edited by Jamie Townsend and Grant Kerber, the volume contains contributions from a collection of poets spanning generations, identities, ethnicities and backgrounds. Highlighting formative moments as well as the culture's shortcomings, this well-rounded collection takes a critical look at how deeply counter-culture can infiltrate our lives and the effects that brings about. Jet-Tone Press will donate 100% of the proceeds from this book to West Oakland Punks With Lunch. Punks with Lunch is a guerilla not-for-profit harm reduction outreach organization providing food and other necessities to people experiencing homelessness.
