FEATURED BUB Title

The Genius of the Fool by Jeffrey Woolf
Poetry & Letters, 93 pages
Pub Date:  December 2013
ISBN:  9780979761430
Paperback:  $ 11.95  Autographed by the Author

The new collection of poetry, short essays and select letters by Minnesota poet and novelist Jeffrey Woolf. Beyond the climactic journey chronicled in Apples of Arcadia, Woolf illustrates with razor-keen aplomb a voyeuristic portrait of the author's life and the (at times, ambivalent) business of literary publishing.

Alternating between points of view, psychosocial landscapes, various locations (including a feast of fortune cookies in a Chinese restaurant) and across time zones, Woolf explores with new, inventive language the timeless themes of obsessive love, heartbreak, spiritual loss and eventual redemption — all while searching for the perfect literary agent.
