Dead End Street Hooks A Big One!
Larry Jaffe takes up residence on the Street.

COMPANY PRESS RELEASE HOQUIAM, WA – January 15, 1999: Dead End Street Publications is extremely pleased to announce the signing of acclaimed Los Angeles poet Larry Jaffe. His newest work, a collection of poetry entitled Jewish Soulfood, will be available from Dead End Street Publications in late 1999.

About the Author:

LG Jaffe is a poet in the truest sense of the word. His words carry impact like sledge hammers. His unshakable belief in the right to be heard becomes more evident with each utterance. And still, his poetry offers an unquestionably powerful aesthetic. Next Magazine comments: Jaffe "displays what is best about the So Cal poet…." And Courtenay Nearburg of Austin Arts writes: his "…style is demanding, with exacting details of prejudice, victimization, and honest reflection on the state of our society, where the anti-establishment has become the status quo, and liberation from "freedomland" has become another disappointing ride in a theme park." Director Sal Romeo adds, "…Larry is politically and socially astute, humorous and sometimes even sweet, he makes me jealous, and that’s a crime."

Jewish Soulfood is a richly textured venture into the past of an aging man coming of age. The poems intertwine to form a brilliant tapestry that will warm your heart and reaffirm your belief in the arts. Keep your eyes open … Jaffe is on his way … and he’s bringing his own special brand of Jewish Soulfood.
