Publisher's Synopsis
The grand proponent of wild, Texas chupacabras, the lover of fantastic, comic book characters, and the advocate of last century's monsters, all in the form of sometimes experimental poetry is at it again and there is no human, super or otherwise, on this tiny, blue Earth that can stop him. Is he a super-speculative genius trapped in what the unassuming think is a common poet? You hear him read live and you might start to wonder what a marvel he really is. Enjoy this very creative and speculative, poetry book that is not just a fast read but a kick in the pants of what poetry can also be like. In Sex, Lies, And Chupacabras, Juan Manuel Perez gives a powerful voice to several shadowy figures, namely one Speedy Gonzales, a love-sick werewolf, and the creature who Juan has championed for so many years, El Chupacabra. Named the Poet Laureate of the most misunderstood cucuy ever, Juan has gathered in this collection four multi-piece works, each varying in tone but they are all in their own way very powerful and fun.
