Tea Room Musician
We sometime view the past through rose colored glasses. Steven Fivecats’ Tea Room Musician is a collection of poems written during the turbulent times of the early 1970s. With Vietnam on the forefront, racial equality a lesson trying to be learned, and a generation rebelling against the establishment, you have a period rich in expression both in the printed page, the arts, and vocal lyrics. Tea Room Musician is about those troubled times and how they affected on young writer’s view of himself, life in general, and the rest of the world. Yet today, after many years in a closed file drawer these poems are resurrected to see the light of a new era and a new century, and yet somehow, these same works still reflect the mood and uneasiness of these new troubled times. Some say history repeats itself, and perhaps in this case, life seems to repeat itself as well as social order and disorder.
“It is obvious in his poetry that Fivecats is a spiritual person who sees beyond this moment and into the next.” — Sharon Vander Meer, Happenstance Magazine
