description: Manic Rose City is a roller coaster ride fun house look at the ups and downs of an artist in the rose city, Portland Oregon. It’s a world of denizens and hipster characters, each having a distinguishing name for amusement and notoriety. Manic Rose City is the emotional story spoken in vivid Technicolor of the lyrical nature of living an artist’s life. It encompasses all the denizen characters that occupy the life and nightlife of this vibrant rose city. Rich with culture, a strong artists colony, and an independent identity, these poems explore all the important themes of life through an emotional fabric of hills and valleys. The poetry is always following some undercurrent of energy in this manic city and is rich with vibrant manic artistic living. The Frësch Klesch guides us to the characters of the rose city in recurring themes of love, lust, joy and sorrow. The poetry in Manic Rose City is ripe with poignant messages of urban living, human decay, and how there is still a magical place where city dwellers live. Artists consider it their playground where voyeurs love to visit. This book illustrates how an artist struggles with his creative energies, yet is hopelessly full of joy and hope for futures yet explored. It is a compelling tale of love, lust and why poets often are found in bars drinking whiskey on your Tuesdays.
