Poems by Allen Itz Allen's new book, "seven beats a second" is 160 pages of poetry and full color art prepared in collaboration with artist Vincent Martinez. As originator of the "seven beats a second" project, I take for myself the pleasure of thanking people who have made the project possible. First is the artist half of "seven beats a second", Vincent Martinez. Vince and I joined talents after I ask my son to see if any of his artist friends might want to work with me in creating a book. The result is here for all to see. Vince is an outstanding young artist with a great future and a vibrant and exciting sense of form and color. I also offer special thanks to Jim Feuerstein. The whole process of putting this book together was new to me, a continuing frustration of trial and error and, often, error again. Jim was my turn-to guy on those days when confusion reigned, my guru-in-charge, providing frequent counseling over coffee at Borders, pulling me out of the ditch many times. Allen Itz is a native South Texas, moving slowly over the years from a small town just a few miles from the Rio Grande to San Antonio and the hill country. He began as a writer in the late 1960's, published a few poems, than quit writing for nearly 30 years. He began to write again several years ago after he retired from a career in state government and has since published more than 200 poems in various on-line and print journals. This is his first book, a collection of both previously published and unpublished work.
