SANTA BARBARA, CA – HAVE YOU EVER BITTEN OFF MORE THAN YOU COULD CHEW, YET COULDN’T SPIT IT OUT?

Most people get choked up when they take a bite of emerging artist Rick “Tragic” Anthony’s debut offering, Contemporary Visions.  Brash, intelligent prose explode from the pages of this simple yet lyrical book.  What seems to draw people in is its controversial styling combined with an intense in-your-face punk-rock attitude.  “Something forced me to read it cover to cover, I just couldn’t put this book down.” revealed recent UCSB grad, Jenni Mullins.  That something is an exciting new voice…a haunting voice from the heart which can’t be ignored.  “Rick Tragic’s words seem to hit a certain chord with young people.”, states local rock-club owner Davey Andrews.  Based on an exciting and successful pre-sale of Contemporary Visions in San Diego, CA, the creative writer anxiously awaits his hometown’s release in Santa Barbara.  “I couldn’t be happier.  The time has come for me to stand up and let my voice be heard, I’m ready!”, proclaims the ecstatic writer.

Contemporary Visions is a collection of thoughtful and provocative poetry ranging from childhood dreams such as, “The Old Guitar Shop”, to the abrasive social commentary of “Eternal Martyr”.  The reader is taken on a thrilling journey through seven chapters capturing the awkward and frustrating instant between adolescence and adulthood.  Rick “Tragic” Anthony is a student and artist who enjoys exploring new ideas.  His hobbies include music, dramatic art and activities which appear to have no meaning.  In the future he desires to present his poetry against a musical backdrop through live performances, the recording industry, and online.  Why not interview the provocative, articulate and always charming Tragic Hero?
