Rick Lupert’s 19th book – a collection of travel poetry written while out and about in Ireland, the nation that invented the color green.I can't think of a better book than this to comfort the jetlagged mind of a lonely traveler in a new country. Funny, observant and comforting, "Romancing the Blarney Stone" is a fine read from one of my favorite poets.~ Amber Tamblyn, Author + ActressA Rick Lupert travel book not only shows us the country visited, it shows us the naked absurdity of the world. Romancing the Blarney Stone gives us a detailed, humorous tour of Ireland, full of blarney, a little stoned (various quantities of fine Irish whiskey are consumed), and always entertaining.~ G. Murray Thomas, Poet + Editor Next...Poetry CalendarIn this tremendous volume, Ireland, land of poets, plays host to Rick Lupert, an alien poetry invader from the not-quite-so-wild West. He brings with him a dry wit and a beautiful economy in his words, but most of all he brings a penetrating insight into the giant mass of contradiction that is modern Ireland. From a deceptively simple thread Lupert spins what becomes an almost Homeric epic odyssey across the island. I saw my own country through the culture-shocked eyes of a stranger who clearly loved it as much as it clearly confused him too. A really great, funny, and perceptive verse cycle by a true poet.~ Rodney Orpheus, Irish Author + MusicianRick Lupert has been involved with Los Angeles. poetry since 1990. He is the recipient of the 2014 Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center Distinguished Service Award and was a co-director of the Valley Contemporary Poets for 2 years.
