Please, Lord, Make Me a Famous Poet or at Least Less Fat
or Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Poetry
But Were Afraid If You Asked, Someone Would Start Talking
About Whatchamajigger Pentameter by Dean Blehert.
Uproarious book of poetry about poetry. Takes on all comers,
Beowulf through Plath and even the poetry slam. No toes go
untrodden. Deft, outrageous parody and satire. "Dean Blehert
is a radical innovator in contemporary poetry. He has rediscovered
pleasure. His poems are - how contrarian - both fun to read
and wonderfully perceptive about the follies of modern life.
I hope he represents the cutting edge of poetry for the new
millennium. But if not, we can console ourselves by rereading
him." Dana Gioia. "What a banquet!! -- a feast of wit, wild
and wonderful -- incredibly clever!" Lyn Lifshin
ISBN 1-892261-03-0, 416 pp. , indexed by subject and title,
illustrated by Pam Coulter, publ. Words & Pictures East
Coast, 1999

No Cats Have Been Maimed or Mutilated During the Making
of this Book
But Some of Them Are Disappointed -- Very Disappointed --
in Me
Mainstream, Gil Lamont: "Blehert's poems grab me
by the scruff of the neck and demand to be read.... It's like
eating potato chips, you can't stop at just one. Only the
occasional eulogies that brought a lump to my throat made
me want to stop for a while, and reflect on cats I've lost
over the years.... This is too good a book to keep selfishly.
Buy two, one for you, one for your friends, and be grateful
that Blehert has so accurately let us look at ourselves too,
through our foibles as cats' caregivers and surrogate parents
and servants."

I Swear He Was Laughing
Poems About Dogs Mostly) Who Only THINK They Are People,
But Aren't, So Can't Read This Book, So Will You Please Read
It for Them?
For anyone who has ever loved or been loved by a dog. Mainstream,
Tina Perry: "...a delightful book of poems about everyone's
best friends, dogs. The book made me laugh, smile, and it
also brought tears to my eyes." "Dogs sweat through their
tongues. /I'm being licked on the cheek /by a dog's armpit."
"The dog has had enough cuddling /and uncoils off the bed.
/I stare at my skin, /watching for any freckles /that move."
"Old friend, I hear one of my years is seven of yours. /I'd
slow for you if I could."

Poems for Adults and Other Children
This is Dean's fourth book of poetry. Most of the poems in
this book are taken from the issues of his popular and momular
poetry letter, Deanotations. Some of them are funny
and may have been intended that way. One, "The Doll's
Journey," may be a story for children; scholars
still debate whether the children of Blehert's time could
have understood it. The other poems, it is widely agreed,
are for grown-ups, but only those who don't understand what
the scholars are talking about.

The Naked Clowns
The clowns in these poems are men and women in love or wanting
to be, all dressed up in bodies so as to be naked for each
other. The poems range from ribald to lyrical, from earthy
to ethereal, but all live up to the title.
