East of Ivan is Amazon's #1 best-selling poet and author Ivan Jenson's sweeping, raw, comic memoir of his personal and artistic journey as an iconic pop artist. It's a bumpy, thrilling ride from Los Angeles to Costa Rica, Bloomington, New Rochelle, and finally, the gritty streets of New York City, where he achieves unexpected, unprecedented success as a painter in the historic East Village art scene of the '80s.

Ivan is an endearingly egocentric, East Coast Don Quixote; and this emotionally charged chronicle of his early life contains plenty of manic, misguided, yet always engaging rodomontade. East of Ivan is a laugh-out-loud hilarious and histrionic on-the-road-style howl of a confessional memoir; a rags-to-riches cautionary tale about the soul-shattering addiction of artistic ambition in downtown New York City. Yet, it leads Ivan into unforgettable misadventures of heartache and triumph.
