Humorous travel poems written through the author's unique filter. From the introduction by Brendan Constantine: "Rick Lupert is an honest poet. He has an honest face. His mouth is honest. His words are honest. The sentences he makes with those words are honest. Even the complete fabrications that emerge from the pages of his latest book positively sizzle with integrity. When, for instance, he describes his recent trip to England and the fascinating encounters he has with the people of that proud country, you can almost believe that he went there. My Irish mother used to say (the others hardly...

It was time to visit the big city. Sure, the city I live in is bigger; but that's not important. New York is the BIG CITY...it's certainly taller than Los Angeles. There's a lot to be said for compacting everything onto an island. Feel free to say any of those things. I'm not going to say them for you. Opinions are expensive in these parts. Send me a dollar, and I'll tell you what I think. I like Islands. Brooklyn is not an Island. There is fabulous Mexican food there. The kind of food you wouldn't find on an island. The kind of food I wouldn't expect to find east of Arizona. So meet my trip...

Someone recently described reading Rick Lupert's work as a similar experience to getting kicked in the teeth. He responded by recommending a good dentist. This was a sham as he had not been to the dentist in several years. The best he could do would be to front with 1-800-DENTIST and hope for the best. By the way, this book was not endorsed by 1-800-DENTIST but the author wishes them the best. What exactly does it mean to be one's own Orange County? It's about being self critical. When you read your poetry in Orange County, you'll find the audience more interactive; often critiquing your poem...

Rick Lupert's 13th collection of poetry, written during a week-long adventure in, and on the way to and from, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Rivers are crossed, food is eaten, French is spoken, art is looked at...and it is all disassembled with Lupert's characteristic wit. This poetic travelogue is a must for fans of Lupert's work and anyone who is considering travelling to Montreal...or who has ever been...or who has ever heard the word "Montreal." Sinzibuckwud is the native Canadian word for "Drawn from Wood..".as in maple syrup. Sweetness is also drawn from these poems...Sugar off with Lupert.

Selected poems written from the Lupert perspective inspired by (and sometimes loosely so) the experience of being Jewish. Includes the humorous classics "I Come From Eastern Europe (I've got so much body hair, it's not even funny)" and "Debbie Friedman The Cat." Rick Lupert has been sharing these poems with delighted audiences for years.

Rick is a poet with a real genius for the subtle ironic humor of absurd situations. He holds all the wild cards. He even violates the rules of agreement in the next to last line of Freeway of Love - to underline the aesthetic paradox of "relationship" in a universe of radical solpsism. And that is truly surreal. People are travelling everywhere in this book: Chicago, San Francisco, Istanbul. But the best trip of all is the fishing poem: an hallucinatory plunge into the chthonic troustream of the imagination. If you're already a Rick Lupert fan, you've got to have this book: you can't possibly...
