I saw Zork perform in a Memphis Bookstore after he held a SLAM poetry workshop at my son's high school and then held a ZorkSlam at a Memphis Barnes & Noble store [where Zork spotlighted my son & other student poets]. I was expecting at the Barnes & Noble event that Zork would be selling his book of poetry ["Stolen Snapshots: I am NOT a poet"], BUT I was not expecting that he had written a dumb $4 beer book. This book is pricelessly funny. I bought 6 copies to give to my lamer friends for Christmas. I particularly loved the page on "Beer Breakfast." I like Zork's poetry and performance and my son says he gives a great poetry workshop, but, if I were a betting man, I would bet that Zork has made MUCH more money selling a great goofy book like this. It's sad that poetry isn't appreciated enough in our society [although I love seeing our Memphis Schools trying to change this], but I have to think that Zork writing this dumb book was a smart thing. It was the best $4 I ever spent in a bookstore.

This is a charming little book. It's amusing to flip through, especially when one is utterly loop-de-looped. It's a good conversation-starter around the table in a pub, or at home. The models used on the cover are just absolutely stunning. They're the talented artist friends of the author: an eccentric, up-and-coming poet who is steadily making a name for himself in the poetry venues of NY and CT. So give it a try; buy the book!
