Tony Fitzpatrick, often referred to as ”tough guy” something-or-other, has published a new collection of poetry. It is called ”The Coming of Locusts” and contains 10 poems. We had lunch with Fitzpatrick to talk about the book, his art, his life, wife, new baby and other matters. In a week or two we will share that experience with you. In the meantime, here`s what the writer Andrew Vachss has to say about Tony in the foreward to the collection: ”Tony Fitzpatrick. Outlaw blues. Over the line, shining through the concertina wire. Hard and true, connected by blood to generations of righteous rebels and pious psychopaths. Climbing off the canvas again and again, reaching back into himself for that one monster equalizer . . . that K.O. that leaves only Truth standing with its hand raised in triumph.
”It`s here.”
