Taking road trips around the globe from New York City\, Dallas\, Atlanta\, Georgia\, and Gakona\, Alaska to Area 51\, Lockerbie\, Scotland\, London\, Paris\, and Indonesia\, Colen visits the sites of alleged secret plans and alliances and their sometimes cataclysmic outcomes\, investigating through verse such topics as black helicopters\, chemtrails\, the North American Union\, the fluoride conspiracy\, and the JFK assassination\, and exploring possible links between government and corporate corruption and the on-the-ground results of continued global overconsumption. \nJoined by novelist Halvor Aakhas\, author of “Book of Knut\,” Colen reads from “Waiting Up for the End of the World” in an event hosted by Jaded Ibis publisher Debra Di Blasi. Books will be for sale\, and the bar will be open.  \nRSVP on Facebook! \nAbout the AuthorsElizabeth J.
