Anteroom Poetry Book

Two poets, from different pasts and countries, met in San Francisco. They formed a bond like epoxy, two different solutions mixed together. The result was a strong mutual respect and friendship. As quickly as they came together, a time for parting arrived, but not before one proposed a joint venture, to merge a number of their poems into a short book. The result was accomplished in 1986 and was called Anteroom Poetry.
Adam Lizakowski continued writing and publishing to this day. Neal Warren filled cartons with journals and in 2010, when his wife insisted he go through his papers and see what he can get rid of, he began turning pages from his past to digital format in his laptop and published his first solo book. When he came to his copy of Anteroom, he realized how many friendships drifted away and decided to renew those he could.
What better way to renew a friendship than to share the spotlight together once again.
Neal's history included Vietnam and that long recovery that stems from the pain of any war, but Vietnam made him more isolated than veterans of other wars. Adam's history starts from the cherry fields in Poland and political asylum in the States as Communism stamped down on Solidarity and the activists of that time period.
Their histories and growth extend through more pages than those contained within Anteroom Poetry so look for more, and more, and more to come.
