Description:

The sixth collection of poetry by award winning poet, LB Sedlacek. "Red Headed Eskimos" explores a variety of subjects often dark and surreal. A vast array of poems covering religious themes, science fiction, social commentary to light adventurous works. From "Prozac Pizza": "The deer come right on up to the / front door and spit and chew and drop / their cigarette butts on the ground / just to the right of the sycamore trees."// From "Burning Ice": "The meeting of velocity and humidity -- / won't be fodder for erasers or / chalkboards or for teachers with / apples. When the ruler touches / the skin, it is simmering."// Works tend to delve beneath the surface, exploring what you know is there but may not want to admit. Sedlacek's other poetry chapbooks include "Alexandra's Wreck" (Kitty Litter Press).
