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 Lupert has been involved with poetry since 1990. He was a co-director of the Valley Contemporary Poets for 2 years. His poetry has appeared in magazines and literary journals, including The Los Angeles Times, Chiron Review, Caffeine Magazine, Blue Satellite and others. He edited A Poet's Haggadah anthology and is the author of 11 books: He has hosted the Cobalt Caf reading in Canoga Park since 1994 and is regularly featured throughout Southern California.

If you only want three Rick Lupert poetry books in your personal library, then this, LIZARD KING OF THE LAUNDROMAT and MOWING FARGO are the ones I recommend.
