Author Description

Product Description Poetry. PAPER THIN is Rob Geisen's second book of poetry, and in it we are greeted again by his surrealistic sense of humor and tender emotional wordplay. Reed Bye has said of this book: "Rob Geisen's poems are written from a one-two sensibility of simple animal lusts and smart human double-takes. these are poems of an unusually immediate enjoyable accessibility." About the Author Rob Geisen was born July 21, 1971 in a small log cabinesque hospital that smelled of warm nicotine mittens and thirty-two year old shoe polish. A writer and musician, he has written three novels (crushed, september's coming, death aboard a really fast train), two books of poetry (beautiful graveyards, paper thin) and has performed in exactly one bar band too many. He is currently involved in the mad-dashed attempt to complete The Art of Trying: a Positive Look at the Films of Ed Wood, a two hundred page labor of love exploring the frame by frame mysteries of the creative process and the many things that make Ed Wood's movies great.
