Rob Brezsny (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Rob Brezsny (a.k.a. Ray Foreplay, a.k.a. Pope Artaud) is an American astrologer, writer, poet, and musician. His weekly horoscope column Free Will Astrology (formerly known as Real Astrology), has been published for more than 28 years, runs in 120 periodicals, and can be subscribed to for free via email. Brezsny is the first well-known horoscope columnist to use first-person narrative in his column. His writing employs a more personal, optimistic and literary approach than conventional horoscopes. Utne Reader described Brezsny's column Real Astrology as breathing "new life into the tabloid mummy of zodiac advice columns." British horoscope writer Jonathan Cainer told interviewer Eric Francis that Brezsny inspired him to begin his own column in the mid 1980s, saying that Brezsny was the first person who showed him that a horoscope could be done intelligently.
