>About The Poet: Jordan Bishop lives in East Haven. His collection 
>entitled Sleeping in on School Days is a journey in poetry through 
>the realities faced by a young man of this generation. Adult and 
>teen issues are brought to light with the harsh language of reality, 
>but presented as they are experienced-in a state of awe. At times 
>melancholy and nostalgic, other times harsh, cynical, and 
>all-too-real, Sleeping in on School Days shows the range of 
>experiences that are now common for the average teenager. All the 
>faults that reveal our humanity, or lack thereof--child and domestic 
>abuse, poverty, mental illness, teen pregnancy, drug abuse and 
>recovery--are shown here. Sleeping in on School Days is sure to 
>leave the reader shocked and reluctant to turn the other cheek.
