David Fraser will be reading from his third collection of poetry, No Way Easy. To help celebrate the event, two local poets, Patricia Smekal and Mary Ann Moore will also be reading a few poems from thier most recent works.

No Way Easy, David Fraser’s third collection of poetry, is raw and candid in its responsive reflection on the universal journey toward awareness. He begins with observations from a state of shock produced by the entrance into the unconsciousness of the world. From there he moves through the chaos and trauma of growing up and delves into memory and epiphany in a life of ordinary circumstance seen through extraordinary eyes. This is a journey we all must take, surviving the shock of childhood and adolescence and becoming our own unique selves, free of the pain and suffering of the past.

These poems are narratives that will strike a chord and evoke in the reader, his or her own different but similar stories.
