Brave and Bleak Dreams on the Livin-Grind

Book cover for “Brave and Bleak Dreams on the Livin-Grind,” featuring a bearded man drinking from a can and subtitle “Memoir of Finding Authenticity Through the Daily Hustle” by Nicholas Viglietti.

Some people lose hope. Others mutate into the highest quality of self on the daily grind.

Work hard, drink harder, joke through the pain — it's a solid system, until the mornings get meaner and blue-collar burnout sets in.

Raw rips from Sac-Town riverbanks to San Diego beach dives, and Humboldt County, behind the Redwood Curtain — the feral Northstate, ramblin' wildside.

These honest vignettes, gonzo and stoic, chase authenticity through the grit, comedy, and existential haze; overworked, underpaid, and determined to live on your own terms — valiant effort on the bottom slide of the Universal Fade.

For fans of Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Kerouac. This book is a frenzied love letter to the lost, the overworked, and the stubborn souls trying to steal some fun, on the run, who believe in dreams, in a world that expects you to do as you're told.

Wastrel Rips & Devil-May-Care Madness

On the flip of these pages are wastrel rips, the long winds, and the short ends that arrive at the quick of it.

Precise angles, perverse glitz, and the Good-Time Pulse of a wild Wastrel; No Quit, All Grit, the longer the grind, the heavier the Madness.

Cover for Dilapidated Desperado, a Poetry book by Nicholas Viglietti

Published by BoundHare Press — Chicago

No culmination. No finality. Temporal flesh, hot-mess blood, and the search that doesn’t clock out.

Poems from the road, the now, on the hunt for the gleam on fading Horizon Lines. The Scoundrel and the Sage both have to survive the day, On the run, and they both look like they’re getting away.
