The Guy Who Got All Crazy

My friend Bart got me into the poetry scene and a few years ago he published a chap of my poetry. It is titled "The Guy Who Got All Crazy". It's full of dark and gross poems with mostly a humorous tone I guess. Plus lots of sloppy little sketchs by me. I like this chap very much and I still have copies left. I will not say if it is good or bad but if you are interested in owning a copy it would be yours. No charge! Just email me at jhnkorn@yahoo.com and I will send you a copy if I still have them when you send it. Put in the subject line: Free Chap, so I don't think it is spam and delete it.

American Nightmare

I watched this film a few years ago on the Independent Film Channel. It was called American Nightmare. I really loved it and later it helped me pass a history course I was taking in college. I based a paper around it. It covers many of the great horror films of the late 60s into the 70s and merges them with the real political, social tensions and fears of that time. I thought it was brilliant and showed insight into the horror genre beyond simple gore and shock value. Anyway I found the whole thing loaded up on you tube, and wanted to post it here. Even if you do not like horror films like I do (especially from this time period) you may find it interesting. A clip is posted below and here is a link (click here) where you can access all the parts. However, I should warn that there is very disturbing imagery shown in old news footage. So don't bother if you are easily offended but such things.

Television Farm


My book is out and available here, and at Amazon. I'm a very happy about this, and wanted to thank Didi Menendez for asking me to put this collection together. The poems included cover about a two year span of time or more. When I was writing these poems I rarely thought about being published, but certainly hoped they would have a home some day. It's full of memories, fantasies, thoughts, and much of it was fueled by sleepless nights and the love of writing.

Robert Lee Brewer asked me to do an interview about the book for his blog at Writersdigest.com. You can find that interview by clicking here.
