Stupid Cupid and The B-Side Poems

Great poets love words and with this gift they provoke to life images and experiences stored in some deep closet of the readers consciousness that have the familiarity of smoothing ones cheek against the cool faux fur of a loved coat long forgotten but all at once remembered. Eric David Lough (E.D. Lough) writes with a sensual honesty that provokes you to celebrate your humanity, to get up and live, to feel, to see the world, to relish the meandering of your soul. Poetry is about a love affair with words and the journey of courageous souls. Lough is alive, he has travelled the side roads of existence, he is frighteningly honest and is one of the great contemporary American poets of our age.
