Kouken

“ . . . analyses, warnings, complaints . . . iconoclastic, critical,incisive, satirical . . . and poems like none you’ve ever seen, LOL funny, pithy, tragicomic, disturbing, grim . . . ”



Kouken is a witty and provocative collection of stories, essays and poems that reveal a razor-sharp mind at work on the experiences of a well- and richly-lived life. Avoid this book if your beliefs are predigested media pap; otherwise dive right in for the sheer intellectual fun of real poetry and acerbic, often hilarious comments on quantum physics, junk food, religious and political nonsense, wine, art, and
other pretensions, and that most fearful of beasts in the dark forest of the human mind, the “-ism”.
