description: This is a poetry/art book that combines social, sexual and horror themes with some amazing artwork. One of the more interesting pieces, "God's Desktop", is a triptych (three-piece) of God's daily computer tasks, including IMs with Satan, Jesus and the Pope. It is a riot of humor, yet with a biting realism that punches home the message. Some of the works are centered around Animal Rights, human injustice and Native American themes, while others are beautifully romantic and personal. The illustrations run the gamut from Italian Renaissance to hand-drawn horror to psycho-sexual collage. The balance between politics, pain and beauty are perfectly executed verbally and visually. If you like sweet and sour, dark and light, heavy melodies and pain with pleasure, you will love this book.
