Fast Geek Press to release chapbook of poetry by Chicagoan, John Franklin Dandridge.

Small book and cassette tape label, Fast Geek Press would like to announce the release of John Franklin Dandridge’s new collection of poems called “Further Down Rd.” on Monday, May 10, 2010.

“Further Down Rd.” is an examination of an artist’s relationships, rivalries and exaggerated perception of the future painted on the geographical canvas of Chicago’s Bucktown neighborhood. John Franklin Dandridge inserts his audience into familiar situations and settings by weaving abstract imagery with icons of pop culture.

John Franklin Dandridge lives and writes in Chicago, Illinois. He earned his M.F.A. in Poetry from Columbia College, Chicago. Several of his poems have been published in Callaloo Press, Spirits Journal, and The Smoking Poet to name a few. This is his first chapbook.

“Further Down Rd.” is available at fastgeekpress.com.
