Books.
My newest book is How
to Be Inappropriate.
Newer items are to your right; books and older items appear below.
God
Save My Queen: A Tribute and God Save My Queen II:
The Show Must Go On (Soft Skull Press 2003, 2005).
My first two books are collections of lyrical essay, memoir, prose poem,
and music history on my life-long obsession with the rock band Queen.
Throughout these two volumes, I write one piece, or riff, to coincide
with every song ever released by the band, plus selected solo work.
These books, published by the super awesome Soft
Skull Press, were reviewed in publications both large and tiny.

The History of

of poems culls from many of the different modes and styles I've used
over the years: narrative, confessional, list-making, pop culture rants,
and ars poeticae. Go to this new
window to listen to Gene
Cawley's three incredible song poem settings of selections from
The History of My World Tonight.
