Scott Shaw

Shatter Thoughts presents three of Scott Shaw's previously published poetry books and two new titles combined into one collection. The titles included in this volume are: "Scream: Southeast Asia and the Dream," "Suicide Slowly," "Last Will and Testament According to the Divine Rites of the Drug Cocaine." The new chapters are: "No Kisses for the Sinner" and "On the Hard Edge of Hollywood." Shattered Thoughts presents the gritty, street-wise, and thought provoking poetry of Scott Shaw. This book leads the reader through adventures, experiences, and realizations Shaw lived both in the west and onto the far off reaches of Asia. The Backspace Journal writes, "Blisteringly hot. This collection takes the reader to the streets, sticks their nose in it, and makes them understand what most of us will never see or live. Part autobiography, part verbal extravaganza, Scott Shaw takes the reader into the gutters and confronts them with the realities of life, allowing them to emerge mystically realized."

The Korean martial art of Hapkido is an advanced system of self-defense. It is designed to teach its practitioners exacting methods to defend themselves against all types of attacks.

Via his poetry and prose Scott Shaw takes the reader into the mind of a poet and his lover in a turbulent relationship, destine for disaster, in 1980s West Hollywood, California.

"Ten to Thirty takes the gripping, gritty, and street-wise writings of Scott Shaw to a new level of literary excellence. Using his unique style of veering between storyline, poetry, and prose, Shaw takes the reader on a first-person journey into the mind of the protagonist who is crossing the threshold and turning thirty years of age. This novel vibrantly details the sights, sounds, and experiences of life lived on the artistic and rock n' roll boundaries of modern society in Los Angeles, California." Publishers Weekly
