Delve into Ron N. Cervero’s first poetry collection, Cranial Speedway, available from www.xlibiris.com. David Mix of the Northeast Poetry Review says these are “short, rough poems” in which “the outrage is keenly felt. Mr. Cervero's responses are often bitter and sardonic.”


Briarhopper: A History is the true story of a shy, beautiful girl's journey from the hollers of Kentucky across the country during the depths of the Great Depression, and her awkward, triumphant assimilation into California life, complete with indoor plumbing. 

Available online at Booklocker, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble.
