Overview

No More Poems About The Moon is poetry that asks ugly to step out from behind advertisement, for fear to stop dressing up as salvation, and love to keep doing what it does when it thinks no one is watching. From standing in line at the bank, to getting a haircut, to lying in the grass with your head in a lover's lap, Michael Roberts renders scenes of striking familiarity with an inventiveness that makes the mundane not only new, but ecstatic.

Meet the Author

Michael Roberts recently spent the day at LACMA and was blown away by the work of Robin Rhode. When warned by museum security about taking photos with his cell phone, he quickly placed it to his ear and said, "I understand Mr. President. I'm on it." He also laid his beard against the buttocks of a nude female sculpture and got away with it. He first book of poetry, entitled No More Poems About The Moon, was published by Write Bloody. It is full of similar behavior.

Read an Excerpt

DOG BITES OLYMPIAN

If I were the last of the Mohicans my name would be Dog Face In Wind.
My joy would be indistinguishable from other people's joy. I would pause in the middle of my sentence to spread out blankets. I'd train my laughter to be an Olympian. Then I'd force myself to stop laughing. I would think of war crimes.
I would curl up with a good book about the Holocaust and call to say goodnight by calling down clouds that carry the ocean and are crawling with jellyfish. I would bite my tongue naming it rain,
naming it lightning, naming it light. And pinch myself to see if we were really having sex. I would change my name to Japanese. Your hand would move over my mouth. I would snap. I would throw a fit at your funeral, say mine, mine, mine. I'd throw rocks and cough up the light from my right lung. Water my liver with an alcoholic's tears. I would suggest vertigo then leaning against someone.
Then I'd make you laugh. Then I'd keep making you laugh. Then it wouldn't be funny anymore.
