Glenn Proctor's Kicking Bottles, News & Dust: An Autobiography - 50 Years of Poems (Outskirts Press) was chosen as one of Amazon Editors' Favorite Books of 2014. "This work - and the two books of the trilogy to follow - is how I write and understand poetry," he says. "It represents so many life experiences - success, pride, danger, addiction, love, competition, truth, failure, laughter, disappointment, fun, mystery, hope and the death of so many relatives, friends and Marine and journalism colleagues."
