Otherwise, His Life is Ordinary
Bobby Byrd Gets Naked in Poetry

He said he felt naked without his glasses and spent a few minutes looking for them before deciding to sit down and talk about where he really lays it all out: his poetry. At age 71, Byrd is crowdfunding his upcoming book of poetry entitled, Otherwise, My Life is Ordinary.
