Offbeat

About the Book

Offbeat continues the experimental poetic style of Robert Eldridge. In sharp contrast to his 2001 debut poetry-short story collection, Amber Spirit: Poems & Stories(Hats Off Books), this new collection sets a darker tone.

Offbeat goes for the jugular and holds no remorse for its deep, sometimes Gothic themes and smash mouth way of expression. The book is comprised of poetry, skits, and a few off-the-wall interludes. Offbeat appeals to all the misfits, outcasts, and just plain unconventional who ride life off-center with a lot to say. It walks a tightrope between the sentimental, obnoxious, and demented expression.
