Publisher's Synopsis
"John O'Kane, with his radiant sentences, has captured Venice's sun-drenched paradise, artists seeking new forms, surfers, lost ones who came looking for community. His sense of the environment, the creative ones & those close to madness is uncanny. An empathetic, humane sextet about the ghosts of Venice splendidly told."
Harry E. Northup
Poet, Love Poem to MPTF; actor, Taxi Driver
