A Ludicrous Split

A Ludicrous Split #1

by Kevin Ridgeway, Gabriel Ricard, Alien Buddha (Compiler)

Ricard and Ridgeway’s poetry is like candy. No, their poetry is like shoplifting candy from the big box store that squashed your fave mom and pop shop. The poems of A Ludicrous Split live in those moments of dark surprise and sweet despair; the moments when your pockets bulge with illicit sugar and you’re sticking it to the Man however you can. These poems give us this strange world we live in made both stranger and even more familiar; they pivot and turn, words dancing with the uncanny, like finding still warm toast on your doorstep or hearing a mime swear. In the poems of A Ludicrous Split, Ricard and Ridgeway give us the poems we’ve all earned, poems that rattle our bones while getting us through to better days. Reading these poems, we can all say, some day, yes, some day. Ryder Collins
