A Ludicrous Split 2: The Regional Music and Anxiety Trade Show Festival

A Ludicrous Split #2

by Kevin Ridgeway, Gabriel Ricard

A LUDICROUS SPLIT 2 reunites poets Kevin Ridgeway (INVASION OF THE SHADOW PEOPLE, FOSSILE OF THE NEW SCENE) and Gabriel Ricard (BONDAGE NIGHT, CLOUDS OF HUNGRY DOGS) for a new split poetry collection containing poems on the weird, wild soundtracks of each of their lives. Poems cover such singers and bands as Warren Zevon, The Pretenders, and Muddy Waters, with stories and memories built from the DNA of such tracks as The Ramones' Pet Semetary and Fiona Apple's Paper Bag. These poems promise to be funny, bizarre, and sometimes profoundly sorrowful. There's never been an autobiographical poetry collection quite like this.
