The Eater of the Absurd

The Eater of the Absurd is a 60 page book of poetry by Ohioan John Burroughs, a.k.a. Jesus Crisis. This highly anticipated thematic book of new work by John Burroughs is stunning, thorough, and masterfully executed, and is quintessential Burroughs-wordplay with its punning and juxtapositioning of words and lines. It also contains his Pushcart Prize-nominated performance piece "Lens." Packaged in a textured white cardstock cover with a heavy deep olive green cardstock insert, and printed on creamy soft-white cotton paper, The Eater of the Absurd makes a striking statement of (in John Burroughs' own words) "pleasure, pain, and deprogramming."
