Steven Jesse Bernstein was a neo-beat writer in Seattle. This book contains textual versions of all the poems found on his spoken word album, "Prison," as well as many other absolutely gorgeous accomplishments of language. If you can obtain a copy of this book, consider yourself one blessed human being. Especially check out "She Comes And Goes" and "Love: One More Cold Car Ride" for some of the most beautiful poems of love ever written. A masterpiece of posthumous lore.

This collection of poems is a colorful addition to anyone's bookshelf. I thought it was wonderful, and being an aspiring writer myself, I find great inspiration from Steven's words. Even though he is a bit on the looney side, it gives you the opprotunity to escape from your world into his, and getting away helps everyone. Get this if you need different remedy to satisfy your reading hunger!!!!

Bernstein was the poetic force and influence of the Seattle grunge Movement. A peer of Bukowski and Burroughs, Bernstein was Seattle's Poet Laureate during the Ron Sims Administration. More Noise Please is a brilliant example of Bernstein's range. Bernstein has yet to receive to recognition that his work warrants.
