Rusted Roads and Day-Old Roses

is a deviant driving tour through the lives of victims, the voiceless, and the vicious. In his seventh free verse collection, award-winning poet Ron Gavalik pours blood on each page to reveal his gritty exploits as a rideshare taxi driver in Pittsburgh. Every day, humanity is compelled to keep going. Enlightenment, loot, food, or sex - people are forever pushed forward. On these rusted roads, the reader discovers we are but a hodgepodge of day-old roses. Ignored by the masses, hardworking souls thrive by the virtue of great love bestowed by the few.
