Big A Whole Town in Slippers is a collection of poems written during a fifty-year period of self-imposed exile. Most of the poems revolve around various states of time warp, a condition necessary for the author to both write and perform his poems and stories. The time warp takes the form of a whole town in slippers or what the author also calls speeding in the slow lane. Stephen Malkin spent a lot of time in the Southwest and Galveston, Texas where he did a good part of this published work. This book is meant to be accessible to any and every reader. We hope you will enjoy A Whole Town in Slippers by simply slowing down in it -- rather than heeding the author's example of driving with one foot on the brake and one heavy on the gas.
