“Laughing At Funerals provides us all with a text to read on the eve of the apocalypse.  It is a series of frenzies meant to be performed against the frenzy.  A rage before the serenity of nothing.” 
– Todd Moore

Epic Rites Press proudly re-visits Laughing At Funerals, the third full length poetry collection by David McLean.  The new press release features a self-review of Laughing At Funerals by David McLean, as well as reviews by Puma Perl, John Yamrus, Todd Moore, Gillian Prew and Misti Rainwater-Lites.  The new release can be uploaded here.

Anyone interested in purchasing a copy of McLean's phenomenal third collection, Laughing At Funerals, should do so from Small Press distribution here.

It may well be true that the world as we know it will come to abrupt end in 2012 - but until that super-volcano in Yellowstone National Park erupts and covers our planet in lava and ash, ERP will keep launching grenades into the abyss!
