ANDREW PAUL NELSON: Skinny as, knows how to sport a hat, been known to see the dawn from the open doorway of Specs and has the ability to see this city from great and rainy heights. He is proof that poetry has not died and is indeed not for the faint of heart. His words are a salsa, staccato rhythm of profundity and wouldn't be out of place if spoken from the edge of a bright red Lambretta. Vroom! He is and more.
