Uncle Lawrence has a Dewy Bum
« on: July 09, 2008, 12:24:33 PM »
That's the name of Fernando Raguero's new chapbook.  Fernando also goes by the stage names of Vitamin F and F Spot.

He is quite often the surly looking Filipino weight lifter lurking in the corners of local poetry readings.

Regardless I just wanted to stop by and say, BUY HIS NEW CHAPBOOK.  In my opinion it is easily the best he's put out so far.  It's a mix of poems that he has read at the slam over the years and some never before seen gems including, "Pigtails."  He also has a fun poem about getting Leonard Cohen drunk at the Brickhouse after beating Mr. Cohen in a slam.  I think the chapbook also includes "My Landlord's Penis."

It really is an excellent collection and at only $5 a pop it's a real steal.  I keep telling him to sell it for more but he won't budge.  Basically each copy purchased helps Fernando have enough cash to get into the next poetry event.

If you can't make it out to a show you can always email him at  briscoeandlogan@hotmail.com

It is a great book but you can't find a Lamdlord's Penis in it. You can read Lemons or Tim's sauce though.

I finished reading this chapbook a couple of nights ago, and it is jaw-droppingly good. It's ribald of course, but it's also so much more than that.

Find Fernando at the next slam and get a copy. He is one of the finest poets I've ever read.

I will try to write a full review if I get time.
