In The Satirist, Caleb Bouchard offers a collection of fifty-one prose poems steeped in surrealism and small town mores. Walking down the proverbial sidewalk of this book, you will encounter a starry-eyed Elvis impersonator (possibly several?) practicing kung fu, a lovesick pinecone, trees whose branches bear human eyes instead of fruit, and even the youthful ghost of Antonin Artaud, asking you to play a mysterious parlor game. Cerebral yet accessible, twisted yet tender, these strange slices of life evoke imagery and emotions that will linger in your mind like embers of a dream you can’t fully remember, but which you still look back on fondly.
"Very American, very strange, very weird, very vivid. All good things in my eyes. James Tate and Russell Edson seem to be smiling throughout this collection, in spirit and companionship." — Ben Niespodziany, author of No Farther Than the End of the Street
