Luminous Soda Drops

The year was 1966. Mike Bitterman was 16 years old and in the 10th grade at Great Neck North Senior High. As one of the first kids to have long hair he was considered an outcast. School, he found, a great bore and was tagged a rebel for not conforming to the system. Often, to kill time, he wrote his thoughts in and on anything he could find. Luminous Soda Drops is an extraordinary compilation of those inspired thoughts in the form of poems, rants, short stories, and musings. All of them were written during classes, detention, and daydreaming moments during the years 1966-1968. There was no era like the 60’s and these works speak highly of the times and frustrations that he, and thousands of others, shared.
