Poems by The Dirty Poet
April 2011
64 pages
Introduction by Danny Shot
Preface by Karen Lillis
“While the resolution of these poems is often death (and sometimes worse), there is an exuberance that rings through these verses.”
Danny Shot, Long Shot
"The poems themselves are short, usually contained on one page, framed by lots of white space. They are prose poems, and they are constructed like bomb shelters. The humor comes in small, pharmacological doses. Just enough to help you laugh so you don’t scream."
David Blaine, Outsider Writers
Words Like Kudzu Press is proud to present Emergency Room Wrestling, the debut poetry book from The Dirty Poet.
The narrative poems of Emergency Room Wrestling read like vaudeville monologues from a combat zone: The voice of the author, who works in a major metropolitan trauma unit, retains a disarming humor, bawdiness, and buoyancy even while he stands elbow-deep in situations of urgent illness, injury, and mortality.
