Rick Lupert's 25th collection of poems and latest travelogue written in Japan while visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, and Hiroshima, follows in the footsteps of Richard Brautigan and is loosely inspired by his title The Tokyo-Montana Express. Follow Lupert through Japan with his signature wit and poet's eye as your guide, as he stands in the mysterious stick line, as indescribable food is put in his mouth (and described anyway), as a monkey crawls on his head, as Hiroshima looms at the end of it all.
One of the smartest, funniest poets around. -Alexis Rhone Fancher, poetry editor, Cultural Weekly, seven-time Pushcart nominee
One of my favorite poets -Amber Tamblyn, author and actress
Rick Lupert is a writer's chef - Derrick Brown, poet and publisher, Write Bloody Publishing
I know of no other poet able to establish intimacy with the audience as fast as Rick Lupert. - Brendan Constantine, poet, teacher, Red Hen Press and Write Bloody Publishing.
Rick Lupert is a treasure. His poetry surprises us with a unique perspective that is both tender and wise. In a live environment I find Rick delightfully funny and arrestingly poignant. - Dan Nichols, Touring Jewish Musician
Rick has a voice and style of his own. His take on life will show you things you have never seen or imagined before! - Craig Taubman, Music Pioneer, Community Organizer
