Fruit for wayward souls.
When fortune cookie poetry leaves you wanting, sink your teeth into something more succulent. Punctuated by bold artwork and epigraphs, this collection explores all the ways in which we steal and the bevy of things stolen: affection, love, innocence, dignity, pride, hope, heritage, free will, free speech, landscape, selfhood, and of course riches or wealth — perhaps the most crude and recognizable of our downfalls.
On every page, bask in a reckoning of refined taste with a raw tongue as you are transported through history, mythology, and the many branches of our global garden. Some poems are bitter and many are sweet, evoking loss and prosperity, joy and dreariness, and of course the tender crimes we commit out of desire. Like all things forbidden, Ripe for a Robbery will leave the palate wanting more.
Available in softcover on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
