We Are in Cahoots

This is an anthology of selected works of poetry in the modern literary genre of 'Outlaw Poetry." Herein are examples of the work of various poets, all from the social media group named "Outlaw Poetry." These are the voices of the great and the small, some famous, some infamous --- celebrities and the unsung. There are voices of true madness and true genius here, voices from the broken and addicted, from the 'rehabilitated' and rejected, both victorious and of those who struggle on --- speaking to any and all who will listen, with their heart. Presented here are, bereft of any bios or fanfare to delineate the "who's who' and their individual creeds, ethnicities, ideologies or 'life's station, ' simply their names and their works. There are no rules here --- the chosen works can be formatted poetry or 'free verse' --- rhymed or unrhymed --- sacred or profane --- simply a collection of 'no holds barred heart-songs.' We are 'the pirates of prosody, the villains of versification, the marauders of metrics, the one-percenters of wordsmithing, the bad-asses of ballads and the outlaws of odes We have joined our voices together in this volume to send our messages to the world, the world we are 'going to' change --- we have conspired to let all mankind know 'what time it is ' ---- Yes, "WE'RE IN CAHOOTS
