Time Remembered by Read
Rick Lupert's seventeenth poetry collection, Making Love to the 50 Ft. Woman, is the long awaited follow up to, and first collection of Lupert's selected works since, 1997's I am My Own Orange County. Lupert's poetry exists at the intersections of the wise and the ridiculous, the spectacular and the mundane. The humor and deeper themes throughout his work will win over the generations of people who've come to regard poetry as an inaccessible literary art. These poems, written over the last two decades, have been widely published in dozens of journals, zines, and anthologies from all over the world. They're rooted in the every day Los Angeles experience and take you through fatherhood, traffic, love, death, and the inevitable experience of finding a wrapped sausage on the sidewalk. You'll learn how to kiss, you'll meet the cutest leaf in the world, you'll say goodbye to Peter Seeger and Robin Williams, you may even relive your own childhood. Get ready to Make Love to the Fifty Ft. Woman. Don't wear anything complicated.Miss Read, or in real life Dora Saint, was a teacher by profession who started writing after the second world war, beginning with light essays written for Punch and other journals.
