I have written a 300-page book about black religious humor. I created two fictitious characters I called Reverend Cheese Head Brown and Deacon Jones. It's a fictitious church in a make-believe Arkansas town named Turkey Scratch Arkansas. In the end, you will split your sides laughing, but to understand where I am coming from, you have to understand my background and the time and place that I was raised. I am going to help you, but first, I have to hurt you before I can heal you. Your first reaction will be to throw this book away and to curse me out, but that's the pain we all must endure to pass the denial stage.

The Professional way to insult somebody. WARNING: THIS IS AN EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE BOOK. It contains 99 insults using foul language. On the first page there's a table with 99 page numbers that you can tick after you've chosen the particular insults that apply to the recipient of the book. This is the kind of book you'd send to an employer who fired you, someone who swindled you or a cheating partner to tell them what you think of them. There are insults to give to fat people, dumb people, males and females, cheating partners, swindlers, someone who's dumped you, the person who divorced you, the landlord who kicked you out etc. etc. It's a very inexpensive way to insult somebody and they won't forget it. When you've ticked the boxes you can mail it out, put it in someone's mailbox, leave it in your boss's desk drawer or just carry it around with you until you see the person you want to insult sitting in a restaurant and throw it at them. Just imagine your own reaction if you received one of these books.

The hospital poems of "Emergency Room Wrestling" read like a Bukowski of the ER: the voice of the author, who calls himself The Dirty Poet, reveals a disarming humor, bawdiness, and even exuberance in the urgency of illness, injury, and mortality.
