We Put Things In Our Mouths by Rick Lupert
"Lupert] writes to us as if we were together, in a library say, a
room where speech is forbidden. His poems are passed to us with a
nod, a smile librarians can�t 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 city�s slogan �I Am Amsterdam.�
Taste Belgium�s chocolate and beer in the cities of Brussels and
Brugge (that�s how THEY spell it.) Stop in to Magritte�s 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 humor�put these poems in your mouth.

the absurd."

original selected poems from artwork, introduction and orange-ness,
