    About this ebook

    A really loose, train-of-consciousness style that is easy to follow, inexplicably hilarious, and reminds one of Ginsberg and Beat poetry.
    Quirky stories & revealing surprises, short and packed with meaning, these are stories to be savored. Performance pieces. Protest art. Surreal emotional moments. Paradoxical portraits. This author has a strong and unique voice.

    Paul Richmond

    Paul Richmond started writing 37 years ago, by keeping a journal. After many years of filling boxes of journals, he became a performer where he wrote or co-wrote the scripts for his solo, duet, and group shows. This led to writings he saw as “stories” or "poems", that he presented at local poetry / spoken word events. Many have been collected to create “No Guarantees – Adjust and Continue.” and "Ready or Not - Living in the Break Down Lane" with two other books that are not here. He runs Human Error Publishing and organizes many local Word Festivals.

      What Are You Really Crying About?

      Jun 14, 2020

      — “I love to cry — as long as it’s not about my life.” It was a simple statement, a line I’ve said a thousand times before. But when your dad is a shrink — like mine — you never know where a conversation might take you.  A few months ago I was visiti

      No Guarantees - Paul Richmond

      Paul Richmond writes in a really loose, train-of-consciousness style that is easy to follow, inexplicably hilarious, and reminds me of Ginsberg and Beat poetry. Jonathan von Ranson

      Quirky stories & revealing surprises abound here. Short and packed with meaning, these are stories to be savored. One can almost see them as performance pieces. Protest art. Surreal emotional moments. Paradoxical portraits. This author has a strong and unique voice. A rare book, worth seeking out. As the author states, The secrets that are revealed in this book will change everyone's life around you. Unfortunately you have to change your own life. VisionWorks - Dick Mcleester

      The first time I saw Paul Richmond, I was a judge for a poetry competition for the Florence Poets Society. There were a lot of great poems that day, also many pretty awful ones. As soon as I saw Paul, I knew something was up with this guy. He had a "look' to him like I was really in for something. One of those funny glowing aura things you see around an intensely creative person. Well I was right. His words were awesome, his delivery a beautiful thing, and he made me think about things while making me laugh heartily at the same time. I immediately bought his book and had him sign it and have been a huge fan ever since. Pick up a copy of everything this guy has ever written, I promise you will not be disappointed!! To see him perform live is an absolutely wonderful experience also. Peter Smolenski - Abstract Artist – Creator of Global online art and poetry events
