Return of the Monkey Mind: More Poems and Wandering Thoughts (The Monkey Mind Poetry Collection, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Return of the Monkey Mind picks up where Living with the Monkey Mind left off as another collection of random subjects that have narcissistically been deemed interesting: the nature of existence, the capricious nature of love, and the profound presence of poultry.

In this second collection, formal constructs such as Haiku and Tanka sit side by side with free verse and experimental forms. Serious subjects abound, but so does the occasional attempt at humor. All in all, Return of the Monkey Mind aspires to be unsystematically systematic and intentionally unintentional. Enjoy the work.

Some of the pieces in this series have appeared or are scheduled to appear in The Bitchin' Kitsch, Hiaku Journal, Parody, Penny Ante Feud, and The Syzygy Poetry Journal.

Autorenporträt

The story of Rob Roy O'Keefe's birth goes that he was born in the same Irish cottage as his grandfather and in the same year, which lead to a time paradox so cataclysmic that he would never finish th

Fortunately, the truth is much different. Turns out he was not born in a cottage or in Ireland, but in a Howard Johnson's in Bayonne, which may explain his lifelong habit of ending each day with 28 flavors of ice cream.

In his twenties, he went through a period of crisis and self-doubt upon learning he was not named after a Scottish folk hero, but rather a mixed drink featuring scotch whisky and sweet vermouth. Years of counseling eventually enabled him to resume his place in society. That, and the realization that his siblings, Mojito, Daiquiri, and Gimlet, had it much worse than he did.

Rob made his way in the world as the inventor of several nonexistent colors and is living a life of leisure thanks to the royalty checks he receives for creating the descriptive names found on garden hose nozzles. His favorite is "Mist."
