An illustrated book of poems, Romeo's Ugly Nose is part homage to the famed love of Romeo and Juliet, part mockery of it, and part something else altogether. Our star-crossed lovers are lost in the specificity and ambiguity of their own myth, but they are also drunk, walking to the nearest Chevron, and drowning in the river of ambivalence love throws their way. The pages of the book, filled with the striking and singular poetry of Christopher Shipman, and the hauntingly beautiful paintings of Benjamin Cockfield, is awash with streams of concepts, flowing simultaneously under the current of its pages. The book, then, is not conceptual, but a meeting of concepts. The perspectives of poet and painter that come together in the pages form a union that celebrates the confrontation of distance and closeness, the image and the word, the elemental and the personal, beauty and ugliness, ghosts and breathing bodies, love and the idea of love. Above all, Shakespeare's lovers hopefully suffer, not only from the woes of their own myth, but from the struggles of the audience to reconcile their own relationships with others, with the world, or with love itself.

I had a chance to catch Mr Shipman perform a reading of this work at TheArts@311 when he first released it. I really like his style, and thought that the poems had a very professional sounding flow to them. As a poet living in Jonesboro, Arkansas, seeing Mr. Shipman read from this great work made me feel a need to step up my own game. Also, the artwork inside is beautiful! Highly recommended.Product details
