    About this ebook

    "Prose and Cons" is a quirky collection of poetry written by Gary Ammann—a self-named badass with a sense of humor.

    Ammann is an author of more than 500 poems; this collection showcases humor and darkness spanning from 1976 to 2020. The pages are filled with places you may have seen, but you've never seen them like this!

    See Arizona through a desert rat's eyes. Visit a bar called the Shook Shack, where your life's worth about $100. Read a story on just about everything—except glory.

    "Prose and Cons" is a fun journey of prose you won't find anywhere else. And please, don't take the author too seriously!
