I AM MY OWN ORANGE COUNTY - 11TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION by RICK LUPERT

showcase Lupert's Prevert-like instinct for finding the profound in
the absurd."

Rick's second book, originally published in 1997 with all of the
original selected poems from artwork, introduction and orange-ness,
along with a newly written "Re-Introduction" and a "bonus material"
section featuring a selection of 29 additional (sometimes even MORE
sophomoric) poems from the I Am My Own Orange County 'era'.
