The Western Way

Lawrence Johns is America's greatest epic poet. "Love and Hate" (2005). his story of the rise and fall of Haight Ashbury was selected as the best work of fiction ever written about the Sixties. "Beyond Exile" (2008), his international narrative of the Cold War and terrorism in the Seventies was made into three seasons of the popular TV series "I'm Carlos Now". His long-awaited third epic, "The Western Way" is a radical philosophical examination of contemporary America that restores the power and principles of Western Culture. Brilliant in conception, refined and lyrical in expression, "The Western Way" is a literary masterpiece that immediately makes Lawrence Johns a serious contender to supplant Billy Collins as America's most important poet.
