Poetry. "Rob Plath has undoubtedly written a masterpiece, a book that is not like any other book I know of in the last thirty or forty years. At least in the mainstream press. We may have to go back to The Dream Songs and Ariel, books that blew the windows out and the doors open toward another new way of looking at things.... A BELLYFUL OF ANARCHY is the kind of book that kicks its way through the doors of culture and announces itself as a separate and necessary phenomenon. And, there is no doubt that this book is a phenomenon"—Todd Moore.

Author Hometown: NEW YORK, NY USA



About the author: Rob Plath, a former student of Allen Ginsberg, has acquired a large fan base both on the internet and through magazines and is often thought of as a significant figure who is carving a new path in the post-Bukowski era where underground poetry is without a father figure. He is the author of WE'RE NO BUTCHERS, THERE'S A FIST DUNKED IN BLOOD BEATING IN MY CHEST and A BELLYFUL OF ANARCHY, both from Epic Rites Press.

Reviews:
David Blaine @ Outside Writers


“Read Rob Plath at your own risk. His words will stick behind your eyes. His heart may even expose a shadow you’ve kept hidden from yourself.”
—Dan Fante

“In the war over the heart and soul of modern poetry, Rob Plath will be the last man standing.”
—John Yamrus

“Plath is a merciless poet. He is not afraid of drawing blood, even his own. He will blow psychic holes in your being. He will leave you wounded.”
—Todd Moore

“Rob Plath’s poetry does what powerful writing should, mercilessly exploring the human condition in all its horror and banality. He journeys to the dark parts of the soul not talked about in polite company. He takes his readers along, refusing to let them look away.”
—William Taylor Jr.
