READ A REVIEW - "The stereotype of the starving, idealistic poet is one of the most wearied clichés out there. However, the protagonist of this little paperback is anything but cliché. This stereotypical poet gets so desperate for attention, he resorts to killing people and attaching his poems to the bodies of his victims. His resulting “memoir” is a manic, sardonic cocktail of crime fiction, literary thriller, cultural commentary, and provocative poetry. Above all, Killer Poet’s Guide can be described as something tragically elusive in our modern entertainment industry flooded with adaptations, sequels, and genre stratification—a new story that is absolutely original. . . ."

Q: How many Gods does it take to screw in a
lightbulb?
A: To get to the other side.

OR:
A rabbi, a
cardinal, an atheist and the Killer Poet are stranded together in a
lifeboat. The rabbi wrings his
hands together and cries, “Oy, God is punishing us!” The cardinal says, “Have no fear; God is eternal life.” The atheist says, “There is no
God.” Being sensitive to the scars
left by centuries of oppression and gefilte fish, the Killer Poet feeds the
rabbi a steaming bowl of Cajun jambalaya with shrimp and spicy pork
sausage. Being sensitive to
linguistic ambiguity, the Killer Poet releases the cardinal to fly into blue sky, thus embracing the homonym’s avian connotation. Being sensitive to ontological
frisson, the Killer Poet’s knife proves the atheist right and wrong with a
single thrust.

I wanted
to open with a joke. I have no
patience for the humorless, monomaniacal type of serial killer. They give all serial killers a bad
name.
