Millennium Sickness

By Zack Kopp

After an uncommon childhood in New Mexico and St. Louis, punk poet Howard Plumber hosted spoken word readings and art events as "The Sad Comic" in Denver, Colorado throughout the 1990s, a block of time marked by unparalleled unity among Denver's creative camps. Following the footsteps of bygone hometown hero Neal Cassady via a series of reckless love affairs - crashing the singles ball thrown by local rag Cowsheet, at one point asking an engaged woman to marry him instead (no cigar), Howard comes to a personal understanding of mortality, meeting literary idols like Peter Orlovsky and Ray Bradbury along the way. Don't miss this electrifying account of Howard's hopeful, hungry youth, episode one in author Kopp's "fantastic biography."
