The Intelligence of the Flowers (1907)

Stephen Furman is a Philadelphia poet who spends his days working in the manufacturing world, and his nights playing drums in a local band and writing poetry and prose. A former drug and alcohol addict, Stephen brings to his works the unique perspective of the common struggles that plague a man on his journey in sobriety. When not playing music or writing, his interests include: listening to live music, finding the ultimate Philly cheesesteak, supporting local music, tattoos, road-tripping, reading, films, channel hopping, stand-up comedy, consuming massive amounts of diet green iced tea, modern art, museums, history, driving around in circles trying to find the best parking space on the city streets, walking said city streets, and observing everyday characters who roam greater Philadelphia. aIam a simple man with a simple plan, a is a favorite description.
