About the Book:
Cadillac on the
Bowery chronicles the exceptional metamorphosis of Mike Domino, a
successful self-made businessman who, in his forties, finally
discovered what was most important in life. He realized that he had
the soul of a poet as he traversed the world, snapping photos and
chronicling the triumphs and travails of a wide array of people.
Mike's inquisitive
nature, coupled with his soulful inclinations, is evident on every
page. His words and his observations are as deeply gratifying as his
photos are mesmerizing and provocative. Robet Mladinich
The poems in this
collection are easy on the eyes. After half a lifetime in the gritty,
barter and bluff, penny-profit-on-a-ton world of scrap plastic
trading, Mike knows how to focus on the essential ingredient of what's
in front of him. And he knows how to transform it into something that
he can put in his pocket (or his Blackberry). He writes with the same
directness and intensity that he brings to everything that he does. As
a trader of plastic, he's made a reputation of being true to his word.
As a poet this trait takes on new meaning. Michael Primont
About
the Author:
Michael Domino is a compassionate man and poet.
He hones in on a subject, grabs hold of it and doesn't let go. He
sniffs around the urban world and catches it when nobody else is
looking and then he gives his all, trying to make us see deeply into
the human scene, the human situation, the human condition.
