Poems for Drunken Atheists: Illustrated by the Author (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781452837901)

Which came first, the painting or the poem? Brock's little book, "Poems for Drunken Atheists: Illustrated by the Author," represents the culmination of two decades of off the wall thinking. The poems are about life experiences, personal opinions, and just plain weird stuff the author would be pressed to explain. The illustrations are reproductions of Brock's original oil paintings which have many of the same themes as the poems. Some of the paintings were destroyed in a horrific wildfire in 2006 and this book is the only place you will ever see them. The poems and paintings have been paired together like fine wine and food. While the book contains a lot of social commentary it is not intended to promote alcohol abuse or any particular belief system. Brock's philosophy is whatever gets you through life is great as long as it doesn't harm others. The book is basically for fun and for the promotion of unorthodox thinking. It is best enjoyed with alcohol in a relaxed setting such as a cozy bar, the bathtub, the water closet, or in bed late at night with your cat or dog.
