Description
For fans of SNL’S DEEP THOUGHTS BY JACK HANDEY and BILLY COLLINS, a new book of humor from New York Times bestseller Andrew Shaffer (Hope Never Dies: An Obama Biden Mystery).
In his first full-length poetry collection featuring over five dozen new and selected poems, humorist Andrew Shaffer explores our modern world from Fortnite (“I don’t care”) to pretentious Instagram poets (“Lord Byron would have drunk wine from your hipster skull”).
Look Mom I’m a Poet (and So Is My Cat) is playful, hilarious, and accessible to readers who don’t know poetry from a hole in the ground.*
144 pages of new and collected poems. With original B&W photos by the author.
*Holes in the ground are filled with snakes. As every verse jockey worth their meter knows, there are no snakes in poems.
