About this ebook
Forget Shakespeare. Don’t count on Donne. Shelley and Keats: banished! And there’s absolutely no poet laureate from the golden or any other age. So fawning PhDs in love with little-understood verses by long-dead writers should go elsewhere. This is poetry for the rest of us—bad poetry!
Pamela Russell’s unexalted (but thoroughly hysterical) poems mock, chide, accuse, tease, joke, undermine, point, and laugh at the world around us—and at anything that takes itself too seriously. Her non-canonical oeuvre includes: Tea For Two (A Tragedy); Nietzsche And The Ice-Cream Truck; Capitalism Can Fall Not Like I Fell For You; Inappropriately Touched By An Angel; Love Is Like A Toilet Bowl; and many more.
Who knew bad poetry could be so good!

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I don't know if I had just opened to the gem of the lot or if I was in a better mood when I first picked up this book at a book sale (obviously - book sale = great mood). Still, from the euphoric high of thinking this collection was brilliant based on a single poem, to the painful realization that the one poem and a handful of others were worth the read and the title was pretty honest....I realized this was just some kind of hipster exercise in bleh.
