Sinzibuckwud!

by Rick Lupert

Rick Lupert's 13th collection of poetry, written during a week-long adventure in, and on the way to and from, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Rivers are crossed, food is eaten, French is spoken, art is looked at...and it is all disassembled with Lupert's characteristic wit. This poetic travelogue is a must for fans of Lupert's work and anyone who is considering travelling to Montreal...or who has ever been...or who has ever heard the word "Montreal." Sinzibuckwud is the native Canadian word for "Drawn from Wood"...as in maple syrup. Sweetness is also drawn from these poems...Sugar off with Lupert.
