bad poet! ba-ad po-et! on the carpet, again!

to compose both raw & hilarious poems that explore, exploit
& explode contemporary popculture rhetoric.

ryan fitzpatrick lives in Ogden, Alberta,
where he spends his days as a brave substitute teacher
& wastes his nights as a crime fighting poet.
BAD SHiT! daringly amasses the poems that didnt quite make it
into his first book-length collection of poetry, Fake Math,
forthcoming from snare books, spring 2007.
