All Our Fare-Thee-Wells will appeal to dyed-in-the-wool Deadheads, to anyone who ever sang or hummed along to the band's infectious tunes and lyrics, and to anyone who misses or thinks they miss the Sixties.
Robert Cooperman was born and bred in Brooklyn, New York, where the action of August 24, 1957 takes place on fateful morning. Luckily, Cooperman survived his little encounter with a glass vestibule door that had a hairline fracture in it and eventually went on to leave New York for Denver and grad school. Cooperman has taught at the University of Georgia, Bowling Green State University, and the University of Baltimore. His poetry has appeared in over twenty full-length collections and ten chapbooks, August 24, 1957 being the latest one. In the Colorado Gold Fever Mountains won the Colorado Book Award for Poetry in 2000. Draft Board Blues was named One of the Ten Best Books by a Colorado Author for 2017, by Westword Magazine. Cooperman lives in Denver with his wife Beth.
