New Brunswick Landing is the story of an American life at the sparkling of the 21st Century. Born in 1962 in New York City, Steven Robert Cook grew up in the woods, streets and playgrounds of New Jersey. Here a lifelong fascination with words and poetry was kindled and nurtured. In his mid-twenties, Cook began what would become a 25-year cross-country odyssey, working, traveling, performing on stages - all the while recording and documenting what he witnessed. From the coast of New Hampshire to the Everglades, from the Rio Grande to the California redwoods, these pages and poems detail the life of friends and lovers, strangers and passers-by, cities and towns engaged in the struggle and passion of life.
