Social dysfunction punctuated by good sex and bad traffic jams. Alveraz Ricardez opens the door for America's poetic apathetic with Hot Mud Poems, a refreshing book of pounding verse for the contemporary fan. From making love in church pews to back alley revolutions, there is something brewing between these covers that demands attention. With potent images by artist Joshua Rhodes, Hot Mud Poems finds a way into the psyche and leaves an after taste that keeps on giving. 10% of all profits are donated to the Los Angeles Eco-Village.
