The Green is a comedic look at the sport of golf, as told through the eyes of Jason Green, the somewhat overweight class clown. After being forced to get a job at Whispering Canyons Golf Course, Jason is introduced to a cast of quirky characters. Hanging out with Eugene, a classmate who is definitely not a part of the cool crowd, Jason begins to learn about golf. He gets better at the sport quickly and even starts to lose some weight. In gaining self-confidence, he begins to realize that maybe the cool kids aren t so cool after all and that maybe he s not just the fat kid who s good for a laugh. Maybe he s a golfer. The Green captures the attention of young readers as we follow Jason on a hilarious journey of self-exploration... and goofy pants.

As I read through Strozier's poetry and find all kinds of links with the wildest of French poets, like Rimbaud, Mallarmé, Baudelaire, I can't help but think that this whole process of self-awareness-ing and defining is practically a normal process for all truly original creative artists.And Strozier's work has a strange hypnotic, compelling quality about it. Once you start reading his work, you can't stop. He is the most habit-forming writer I have ever read.The Whales is one of the funniest, strangest, and most cogent/penetrating plays ever written.Strozier is a writer, publisher, play-producer to keep your eye on. Amazing energy, a fanatic sense of purpose/direction, and always that sense that the "real" him is at work, not some sort of societal-engineered individual, but a man totally in touch with his own inner realities that drive him forcefully through the world that (oft-times negatively) surrounds him. -- Hugh Fox, professor, poet, playwright, literary critic, author of numerous books, publishing icon, etc.
