William Joseph "Will" Robinson, who in 1943 at the age of 32 became the first African-American coach in the Detroit Public School system (as well as in any school in the entire state of Michigan) was unquestionably a rare and audacious visionary. He always intuitively envisioned the total scenario, and that keen intuitive acuity enabled him to give wise counsel to either a youngster or a peer, or to evaluate an athlete's potential in the arena, or to mentor some callow new National Basketball Association impending multi-millionaire. Will Robinson was a legendary human-rights pioneer in the field of athletics, and most specifically in the sport of basketball. For much of Will's nearly 97 years of life, he was also an incarnate historic icon.

Poetry must be irrational." - Wallace Stevens These six-plus decades' worth of selected poems listed in alphabetical order by title were written over a span of 66 of your 'mad' Poet's 78 earth-years spent on this particular planet (as of January, 2014). They are about activism, agony, childhood, classrooms and schools, Eros, art, dreams and reverie, grief and exultation, tenacity, audacity, mendacity, veracity, rebellion, recollections relished or regretted, sport, the surreal, situational insanity, injustice, joy, whimsy, making music with words, painting pictures with words, making love with words, friends & family, 'in memoriam, ' twilight time, and ultimate timelessness. A handful of them mourn or celebrate the eight or nine ladies who succeeded in tweaking and twisting the Poet's innermost viscera at vital crossings. Some are brief; others are longer. Depending on the topic and the Poet's inclination at the time, some are written in rhymed and metered verse, others in free verse, and yet others as PIPs (poems in prose). Many are painfully (or pleasurably) personal-and with several of them, your Poet includes explicatory commentary. He realizes, too, that he must steel himself in anticipation of possible permanent excommunication by certain not-always-so-anonymous individuals of the distaff persuasion who may become angered upon reading many of the more personal ones, but art must be served at whatever cost! Those who have read my 2010 autobiography A Life on the RUN and/or who know me well have undoubtedly noted that the same epithets my antagonists have used throughout the decades to pronounce me unbearable transpose to similar qualities which my supporters have applauded. The bases for these antithetical views have been a) my detractors' or b) my supporters' respective observations of the world, as well as sometimes their direct or indirect encounters with me. In my two other books published by Harmonie Park Press-What OLD MEN Know (also 2010) and Creative Insubordination (2011)-I strive via iconoclastic and sometimes surreal monologues to lift the veils of our collective consciousness and conscience, and I similarly strive in many of these verses. In multiple ways, we all live on a revolving and paradoxically bipolar plane between dream and reality, joy and agony. Dramatic dreams embody the first theatre created by sentient beings, and they have a far greater 'potential of the possible' than do theatre and cinema themselves. Not even the wealthiest Broadway producer or Hollywood mogul could (or could ever have) set forth the lavish and dramatic productions of certain dreams, even with resort to computer-generated special effects. Yet partially through dreams-and-reverie-sharing, your "mad" Poet can and does endeavor to do just that in many of these several decades' worth of impassioned poems, some which from my earliest teen years I had intended one day to put in a book devoted entirely to my poetry. After having now somehow semi-miraculously managed to embark upon my 79th year mostly in one piece, with many surviving poems either memorized or scribbled in old notebooks salvaged from the bottoms of closets and drawers past two divorces and multiple other sad separations, I have indeed finally accomplished this. I hereby serve up these poems to you in this sometimes tranquilly measured and other times borderline scatological collection (but which more frequently you may hopefully find also to be a catalytic and certainly a cataclysmic one).

Dr. Wayne Dyer, who penned the Introduction to Telford's timelessly philosophical book What Old MEN Know, says of Creative Insubordination: "John's laser-like Strategies and superbly sardonic humor foil arrogant autocrats, and his poems are explosive." Detroit School Board president Lamar Lemmons says, "John Telford's message and some of his methods recall magnificent echoes of the righteous revolutionaries of old. He is a natural force unfettered by convention and defiant of bungling bureaucracies." Says prominent trial lawyer Fred Lauck: "From his wild bravado on Detroit's hard-scrabble streets to his lifelong battles with corporate bureaucrats, John Telford now eloquently gives us his Creatively Insubordinate strategies to confound inflexible oligarchs and oligarchies." You'll want to read this spellbinding book nonstop from cover to cover.
