Just Let Me Say This About That
by John Bricuth

John Bricuth’s hilarious and lyrical narrative poem takes the form of a press conference, hosted by "Sir," who is either God, the president of the United States, everybody’s father, or a combination of the three. Just Let Me Say This About That is uncanny and familiar, wacky and eloquent, and down-the-line American in its sensibility.

"…a flow of inspired garrulity—eloquent, comic, raw, violently inventive. Whatever life is, Mr. Bricuth’s poem is filled with it."
— Richard Wilbur

"With wit and considerable wisdom throughout this always engaging poem, Bricuth clings to the occasional surprise by joy—a tonic for anxious times."
— Kirkus Reviews
