Provocations: Satire and Poetry from an Untamed Mind

"Provocations: Satire and Poetry from an Untamed Mind" is Edward Kabak's razor sharp lampoon of the absurdities of existence in this very moment and through the years. Filled with dark comedy -- outrageous, bawdy, always irreverent -- you will be entertained and intellectually provoked. You'll also laugh out loud. How does he poke fun and tell the truth? Through debunking the myths of male superiority, revealing the dangers of sensual women, turning the likes of "Bye Bye Blackbird" into "Bye Bye Planet," and even calling on Dr. Seuss-type word play to create tongue twisters that could only be found in a hospital ward's mishaps. What else would you expect from a writer who envisions the joys of having childhood friends who turn out to be the worst of today's serial killers? Oh, and there are tender love poems too. Everyone needs to unwind in romance while curling up in exasperation at civilization's excesses and deficiencies.
