Albert Flynn DeSilver
From suicidal alcoholic to Marin County’s first Poet Laureate and beyond, DeSilver’s story is full of zany adventures of survival and letting go. He is run over by his best friend after blacking out in a driveway, contracts malaria in East Africa, and joins a psychedelic "therapy"cult, until he miraculously finds himself, through photography, poetry, and a hilarious awakening at a meditation retreat center, and realizes what it means to be fully alive and to truly love.
