Does poetry make you drool? Dribble-dribble, drop-drop, crumb-caught poetry on a crumpled napkin… staining like an inky pen, the artful written word, the soulful spoken word, and the superfluous words that flutter into silence when triggered skin explodes.
Napkin Poetry, the pastiche of visual verse, is divided into seven mouth-watering sections, starting with the Sticky Menu that smells of last night’s order. Appetizers (bite-sized nibbles); Chef’s Favorites (obsessions du jour); Entrees (Southern-fried, beer-battered, and oyster-shelled); Dessert (oral fixation of love à la mode); Drink Specials (lime-sliced and lemon-wedged); The Wine List (rotten grapes uncorked); and Coffee & Tea (a blend of culture, caffeine, and nicotine).
Enter the evocative world of Napkin Poetry, its 150 pages of 92 poems garnished with original artwork created by the author. With monochromatic filigree overlaying a multihued landscape made from paint spills, gemstones, and torn love letters, the twisted elegance of Napkin Poetry catches each poetic sense like a hand in the cookie jar.

About the Author
Laura Kuhn
Boheme13
Orlando, Florida
It's not uncommon for Laura to pack life into a pickup truck and hotfoot it out of her one-traffic-light hometown to relocate in Los Angeles, Orlando, or New Orleans, burning through life like a match struck and tossed to the propane-soaked floor.
It's not unusual for Laura to unroll the red carpet, learn the rules and then break some, and catch a case of the boogie-woogie blues as she spills paint across the face of a bare canvas and flirts with twilight like a southern-fried starlet.
And it's not unnatural for Laura to rebel against her innocent childhood of frog pond parties and cow chip bingo by bulldozing into an adult life of big city scandals and streetside stupors, blossoming into an imaginative bohemian artist with a life to love and a love to live.
