Talking & Gibbering
 Back in the mid 1960’s, Chet Nichols authored a book of poetry entitled, “Talking & Gibbering”. It was prose, loose poetry, but mostly, fun and thoughtful insights about the world around us. They were like little mini-movies. This book was supposed to have been published in conjunction with the release of Chet’s first record album, “Time Loop”. But, a problem occurred when the press/publisher lost the only copy of the pages of “Talking & Gibbering”. At the time, Chet was moving from place to place and touring extensively and, unfortunately, the original manuscript was misplaced. So, like many projects, it fell through the cracks and stayed that way for many years. Recently, 40-something years later, the original manuscript was found nestled in- between two old copies of The Whole Earth Catalogue. It was in an old equipment touring case along with some old recording tapes of Chet’s live shows. Chet, wrote “Talking & Gibbering” on a typewriter and then glued the pages into a hard-shelled, blank, writing journal, so the book was well preserved. Well, we are happy to announce that the original manuscript of “Talking & Gibbering” has been transposed and is now available as a PDF Word File. “Talking & Gibbering” is a highly creative work that is fun to read and is filled with places, people, characters, situations, feelings and thoughts that are raw and subliminal. If you or someone you know, enjoy unique poetry, you’ll want to get a copy of “Talking & Gibbering”. Please contact us if you are interested in obtaining a copy of this wonderful collection.
