Rick Lupert's 27th poetry collection and latest humorous travelogue written in Savannah, Georgia (where ghosts inhabit the poems), Charleston, South Carolina (where the lady who gives out cookies is among the nicest people you'll ever meet), Asheville, North Carolina (the east coast's contribution to "weird" cities), and Charlotte, North Carolina, where ducks and frogs roam the streets without a single care. Join Rick and his mostly willing travel companion Addie as they explore all there is to do, see, and eat in the south. You'll eat biscuits. You'll be in the spot where the Civil War started. You'll wander through "Chicken Alley." Stow away on this hilarious, poetic vacation. It's much cheaper than buying plane tickets.

Follow Lupert through Japan with his signature wit and poet's eye as your guide, as he stands in the mysterious "stick line", as indescribable food is put in his mouth (and described anyway), as a monkey crawls on his head, as Hiroshima looms at the end of it all."One of the smartest, funniest poets around." -Alexis Rhone Fancher, poetry editor, Cultural Weekly, seven-time Pushcart nominee"One of my favorite poets" -Amber Tamblyn, author and actress"Rick Lupert is a writer's chef" - Derrick Brown, poet and publisher, Write Bloody Publishing"I know of no other poet able to establish intimacy with the audience as fast as Rick Lupert." - Brendan Constantine, poet, teacher, Red Hen Press and Write Bloody Publishing."Rick Lupert is a treasure.

A poem for each of the weekly Torah portions, written by Los Angeles poet Rick Lupert who immersed himself in the weekly text and came out on the other side with a poem that adds humor, modern insight, and "reverent irreverence" to his interpretations of these ancient stories around which modern-day Judaism has developed. This collection of Jewish poetry adds to Lupert's growing canon of Judaic liturgy interpretations which have found receptive audiences and readers, from all over the world, who are seeking modern interpretations of our oldest text.With just a few exquisite words, Rick Lupert fills in the white spaces between the Torah's words, and offers holy insight, life wisdom, reverent irreverence, and sacred depth. It takes a poet to find the poetry of Torah, and a great teacher to share it. Rick is both. His book is a gift to us all. -Rabbi Ed FeinsteinOne can always count on Rick to see things in ways that we would not otherwise have seen them. He has succeeded in finding messages within each parashah that are simultaneously uniquely personal and entirely universal. Humor and depth abound. Rick amplifies the timeless nature of the words of Torah, and fills each page with new perspectives.-Cantor Ellen DreskinRick Lupert's poetry is witty, knowing, wise, and a tonic to the seeking soul.-Rabbi David Wolpe
