We Put Things In Our Mouths by Rick Lupert

room where speech is forbidden. His poems are passed to us with a
nod, a smile librarians canąt see."

observationalist Rick Lupert, master of the poetic travelogue. Join
Rick as he travels through Amsterdam with Rembrandt and Van Gough and
discovers his hesitance with the cityąs slogan łI Am Amsterdam.˛
Taste Belgiumąs chocolate and beer in the cities of Brussels and
Brugge (thatąs how THEY spell it.) Stop in to Magritteąs house.
Re-visit Paris, its cheese. its Monet, its wild eyed man with a giant
toothbrush in Montmartre. Travel through Europe with Rick Lupert as
his wife earnestly tries to get the pen away from him. Rediscover
your poetic sense of humorŠput these poems in your mouth.
