Follow the Sun: Poems, Stories and Reflections

Personal insights and images as well as 80s pop culture references and professional sports commentary. This book of poems, stories and reflections by Paul Kareem Tayyar gives you an intimate look at a young man growing up in Southern California. Tayyar is a master of his craft and at the same time completely accessible and down to earth. Follow the Sun is just as humorous as it is touching as it is a piece of time examined from a man with his eyes wide open. Gerald Locklin says: "If what you're looking for is Juvenalian Satire, self-pity, supercilious posturing, gratuitous obscurity, or curmudgeonly nihilism, you have come to the wrong book, the wrong author. Paul Kareem Tayyar celebrates Life. He does not expect perfection of those who populate his work--family, friends, artists, authors, athletes, aesthetes, auteurs--only that he be allowed to love them as he would a poem. He is the Whitman of his generation, but his Capacious Song is Not of Himself but of His World. Thus, he named his press World Parade Books. This monumental collection is that Parade. Maestro Tayyar, Strike Up the Band!"
