“GP Skratz is our planet’s resident fool. His sly and crafty poems surprise at every twist and turn. He turns black holes into roller coasters, and his FUN house is haunted. My advice: wear a helmet on the ride.”
Summer Brenner, author
The Missing Lover (Spuyten Duyvil)
An excerpt from the book:
Ghazal
We played poker with a tarot deck
& predicted the return of Nixon’s birthday.
We entertained the children
with algebraic word problems on Nixon’s birthday.
Post offices, banks, & schools swing wide their doors
to clelbrate Nixon’s birthday.
Stoking the embers of the hearth,
we contemplated arson & insurance on Nixon’s birthday.
We thought of everything else there was
to celebrate on Nixon’s birthday.
