Charlie Sheen's Self-Published Poetry A Hot Item On eBay

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Charlie Sheen doesn't have a deal yet for a planned memoir, but a book of poems he self-published 20 years ago is a hot item on eBay.

Bidding for an initialed copy of "A Peace of My Mind," long out of print, had reached nearly $600 on the online auction website as of Friday afternoon.

The poems are as dark as any of his recent rants, including "A Thoughtless Soul," which includes the passage: "A night of drink/A night of hate/A night as dark, As last night's date."

The former star of the CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men" has been reading from the book on his webcast, "Sheen's Korner."
