Corpse and Flea

This fascinating book is a collection of the poems written by singer-songwriter & author Ron Brunk from 1976 to 2014. Even if you've never been "into" poetry, give this book a try, and you will be instantly hooked. If you have always been a fan of poetry, you will be delighted to discover a fresh, new voice. These poems are highly entertaining as they move effortlessly from folksy, down-home wisdom and humor to super-sonic, cataclysmic word play and social commentary. The author jumps from humor to tenderness to rage, and always speaks directly to the heart and addresses the human condition. For comparative purposes, the reader will find that Brunk was highly influenced by Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, Rumi, Arthur Rimbaud, and T.S. Eliot. Also included in Corpse and Flea are some of Brunk's unusual and sometimes frightening drawings. This is a book you will put on your nightstand and go back to again and again.
