Praise for John Davis
“You don’t need to be a millionaire to enjoy the best of life, Gigs is a collection of poetry focusing on the simpler things and how to enjoy them. Davis speaks plainly yet beautifully, and makes Gigs a fine pick.”
Midwest Book Review
“The lines in John Davis’s poems saunter and slide with a rhythm that shows music is the heartbeat and blood of his life.”
