The Great American Wise Ass Poetry Anthology
Edited by Jerry Bradley and Ulf Kirchdorfer
The Great American Wise Ass Poetry Anthology brings together the work of more than one hundred smart aleck poets who serve as bulwarks against the bombast and fatuousness of modern popular culture. Their snark, irreverence, wit, discernment, impudence—even profanity—speak the truth, subversive as it might be, as an antidote to the folly that governs much of everyday society. Above all, the poems are funny. Read up, America!
